Africa Live: Largest US military exercise in East Africa begins - BBC News | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
BBC Monitoring | |
The world through its media | |
A US-led military exercise code-named "Justified Accord" begins in Kenya | |
on Monday, with more than 20 nations taking part in what has been billed as the | |
largest event of its kind in East Africa. | |
The 11-day exercise, which will end next Thursday, is aimed at increasing | |
participating countries’ readiness for peacekeeping missions, crisis response | |
and humanitarian assistance, according to state-owned Somali broadcaster | |
SNTV and Kenyan media. | |
Dozens of US-trained Somali commandos will take part in the exercise, which private news website Kenyans.co.ke said will | |
bring together 1,000 personnel and units from 23 nations. | |
The US military said Justified Accord is its "largest exercise in East Africa". | |
"Justified Accord showcases the desire of US and partner nations to | |
increase readiness and interoperability for regional security and crisis | |
response," the military said. | |
The US has led similar exercises in East Africa in recent years as the | |
region grapples with a deadly al-Shabab insurgency and other security | |
challenges. | |
