This event marks a crucial step in enhancing the nation’s contributions to international peacekeeping efforts, showcasing the Federal Defense Forces' (FDF) dedication to stability both at home and abroad.
The graduation ceremony, held at the training school, was graced by esteemed military leaders, including Lieutenant General Desta Abiche, Head of the Defense Engineering Department, and Major General Adamneh Mengistie, Commander of the Defense Peacekeeping Center.
Their presence underscored the importance of this occasion and the high regard in which these peacekeepers are held.
Colonel Belay Hiruy, who oversees psychological development at the training facility, addressed attendees about the rigorous training regimen that these troops underwent.
He emphasized that the graduating soldiers are not just equipped with military skills but are also trained in conflict resolution and community engagement, essential components for successful peacekeeping missions.
“These troops will be deployed abroad to ensure stability and support in regions affected by conflict,” Colonel Hiruy stated, highlighting their readiness to face the challenges ahead.
As Ethiopia continues to navigate complex regional dynamics, the efficiency and public support for its military forces have surged.
This growing acceptance is vital for maintaining morale and fostering a sense of national pride among the citizens.
The graduation of these troops not only reflects the FDF's commitment to peace but also signals a broader effort to enhance Ethiopia's role on the international stage.
With their training complete, these newly graduated peacekeepers are set to embark on missions that will contribute to global peace and security, reinforcing Ethiopia's position as a key player in international peacekeeping initiatives.
