Seminar on peacekeeping

    NAIROBI

    A one-week seminar on peacekeeping in war-torn countries is underway in Nairobi, news organisations reported. The seminar, organised by the US government, will explore the role of military forces in democracies as well as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief in war-torn countries, Kenyan television (KTN) reported on Monday. It has brought together the US government and five African countries. KTN quoted the US-Kenya liaison officer, Major Neal Kiringel, as saying his government chose Kenya as the venue due to its experience in peacekeeping missions. The seminar is also a build-up towards “Exercise Natural Fire”, between Kenya, Uganda, Tanzanian and the US, to be held in Kenya towards the end of this month.
