The Multinational Joint Force has continued to carry out humanitarian activities throughout the MNJTF’s sectors in accordance with its mission to enhance the welfare of the general populace. The MNJTF recently delivered humanitarian aid to Sectors 1 (Cameroon) and 2 (Chad) with the assistance of the AU Mission Support Team from March 23–24, 2023.
In a statement, Lieutenant-Colonel Kamarudeen Adegoke, the Chief Military Public Information Officer for the MNJTF, stated that in Sector 1 (Cameroun), a medical outreach was carried out in Mora, and the people of Logone Berni and Kolofata benefited from the distribution of medical kits as well as the beginning of a health campaign. Comparatively, in Sector 2 (Chad), the MNJTF provided food, cooking utensils, and personal goods to about 100 households, benefiting a total of 6000 people in the Bol-Yakoua locality. Additionally, a borehole helped the Ngouboua village, which is 45 kilometers from Bagasola. As soon as it was outfitted, the community would receive ownership of the completed structure that had been built to house a health care center.
It is important to note that the MNJTF’s ongoing ability to carry out humanitarian tasks has been made possible by its capacity and the assistance of pertinent partners. Along with inspiring the soldiers to greater accomplishments, these humanitarian deeds have won the MNJTF the hearts of the people in communities throughout the Sectors.
Maj Gen Abdul Kalifa, the force commander of the MNJTF, has praised the MNJTF personnel, the project’s implementing partners, and the community beneficiaries for their cooperation in completing these significant humanitarian projects. To help end the scourge of terrorism and insurgency in the Lake Chad Region, he asked for increased local support and cooperation to the MNJTF and other security forces.
