The Rwanda Defence Forces, Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Caesar Kayizari has hailed US Africa Command (AFRICOM) initiative Africa Endeavour (AE) saying it will improve communication between African armies.
Speaking at the opening of the five-day planning conference for an AE 2010 communications training exercise, scheduled for August in Accra, Ghana, Kayizari noted that the upcoming exercise: "Will not only provide an opportunity for going through various tests, but will give an overall picture and status of communication and information systems and baseline for interoperability for African armed forces."
"But in addition, it will also move fellow Africans towards a single location for a common goal that will equally improve cohesion."
He explained that it will improve cohesion through the sharing of cultural values, "improving esprit de corps and human interoperability or social networks required for laying a strong foundation for a peaceful Africa."
The final planning conference of Africa's largest interoperability exercise is being attended by over 140 participants from over 30 African nations.
