ATMIS supports Somali Police in securing government facilities

Mogadishu, 24 August 2022 – Somali authorities have commended the African
Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) police component for the steadfast
commitment to supporting the Somali Police Forces (SPF) ahead of ATMIS
withdrawal.
The federal Minister of Youth and Sports, Mohamed Bare, in an interview on

Monday, thanked ATMIS Police personnel for the selflessness in safeguarding
government facilities and personnel.
ATMIS Police provides specialized training, advising, and mentoring to the Somali
Police Force, conducting joint patrols, securing government installations, and VIP
escorts. Furthermore, ATMIS police also support the Somali Police in recruitment

and training, community policing initiatives, and public order management to prevent
violent extremism.
“ATMIS forces secure key government installations. They help to secure our
workplaces, the Ministry and staff. They have a good working relationship with the
Somali Police Force attached to the Ministry. We are grateful for their support,” said
Minister Bare.
Some ministries and government departments secured by ATMIS Formed Police

include courts of law, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation,
the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and the Ministry of Justice.
The Acting ATMIS Formed Police Unit Operations Coordinator, Senior

Superintendent of Police (SSP) Alan Tugiizire, thanked the Somali Security Forces
for collaborating with ATMIS to safeguard critical government facilities.
SSP Tugiizire noted that ATMIS Police and Somali Police collaborate to secure
government institutions, thus ensuring the safety and security of public servants.
“Government officials work at ease knowing they are protected. So, when we work
together with Somali security forces, communities know they can safely access
government offices,” said SSP Tugiizire.
A Deputy SPF Commander responsible for securing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and International Cooperation and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Lt. Omar
Hussein Ibrahim, said they have gained valuable skills from ATMIS through
embedding, mentoring, and training.
“We have gained knowledge from ATMIS, which we use to defend the country and
key government installations. At the main gate, we identify employees and check

visitors seeking government services as ATMIS handles security inside,” said Lt.
Omar. ENDS
