Zambia to deploy 11th battalion to Central African Republic for peacekeeping mission, as the nation strengthens its role in international peacekeeping efforts.
The Zambia Army prepares its 11th battalion for service in the Central African Republic (CAR) to boost regional peace and stability objectives.
Lieutenant General Geoffrey Zyeele of the Army announced the mobilization process to Ministry of Defence Permanent Secretary Maambo Haamaundu during their meeting at Army Headquarters in Lusaka.
The ten previous Zambian battalions deployed to the CAR have shown remarkable professionalism and dedication according to him.
Pre-deployment training of the 11th battalion at Kenneth Kaunda Peace Training Centre in Lusaka will prepare them for their mission.
Zambia continues its mission in the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) because it maintains its commitment to both international peacekeeping responsibilities and civilian protection throughout war-affected areas.
This deployment reaffirms Zambia’s position as a key contributor to peace and stability efforts in the Central African region.
