{The Police Commissioner for the United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), Serge Therriault has lauded the exemplary work exhibited by Rwandan Police peacekeepers in the Caribbean nation.}<\/p>\n
Therriault made the remarks on February 18 while visiting the Rwanda Formed Police Unit (RWAFPU5) base camp located in Jeremie Commune in Grand Anse region, where he inspected a Guard of Honour.<\/p>\n
He was received by the Contingent Commander, Commissioner of Police (CP) Bruce Munyambo, who briefed him on their activities and operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cContinue to lead by example and leave the well deserved heritage of professionalism to the Haitian police,\u201d Therriault said, while briefing the Rwandan peacekeepers.<\/p>\n
He appreciated their high morale and professionalism exhibited and wished them success in their peacekeeping operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am counting much on you in stabilization of Haitian society,\u201d he noted, urging them to \u201ccontinue with the morale and the zeal I have witnessed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Therriault, who also inspected the RWAFPU5 hospital, commended its set up and the medical services accorded to MINUSTAH personnel and their role in local community policing and development activities.<\/p>\n
RNP maintains 145 peacekeepers in Haiti with 140 of them under FPU. Rwanda started its peacekeeping operations in Haiti in 2010 following the earthquake that left over 300, 000 people dead and about 1.6 million others homeless, in the same year.<\/p>\n
Since then, the Rwandan peacekeepers, who introduced the home-grown monthly norm of community work \u2013 umuganda \u2013 have cleaned streets, renovated prisons, trenches and supported the vulnerable community.<\/p>\n
Umuganda has also become a legacy in countries where Rwandan peacekeepers are involved. RNP currently maintains about 600 officers in eight missions which are Ivory Coast, Mali, CAR, South Sudan, Abyei, Sudan, Liberia and Haiti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
