Posted by Thandiubani on Wed 15th Jan, 2025 - tori.ngAccording to him, Operation Udoka by the Defence Headquarters, has also helped in restoring peace in the region.
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa has stated that the arrest of Simon Ekpa by Finnish authorities has greatly reduced the tension in the South East.
He was speaking on the impact of Operation Udoka by the Defence Headquarters in restoring peace in the region when he appeared before the House of Representatives Committee on Defence to defend the 2025 budget.
Musa said, “With the arrest of Simon Ekpa, it has greatly reduced the tension. Also with Operation Udoka, we’re also doing that, picking up most of the leadership that are there, taking them out, and then making sure that the place is peaceful.
“The sit-at-home on Mondays is gradually diminishing. We’re also working with the political leaders there because we understand, as I said always, that we need to have local support because without it, it’s difficult. You know, the terrain is very challenging, so we need to work together. It is improving.”
Musa said the last holiday period was very peaceful because they were very proactive.
He said they were committed to non-kinetic measures of addressing the security problem and this was yielding positive results.
