Kenya-Somalia - Kenyan operation
Like the whole international community, France is supporting the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), and contributing to the training of its security forces.
We hope that the Kenyan operation, conducted in relation and in close collaboration with the TFG against the abuses of the Shabaab militias, is assisting Somalia to return as rapidly as possible to a state of security and stability. This is in line with the objectives of the road map adopted in Mogadishu on 6th September.
In this joint combat, we also applaud the remarkable contribution of the Burundian and Ugandan AMISOM troops which have made it possible, together with the TFG, to free the whole of the Somali capital during the last few weeks and to take back a number of strategic positions from the Shabaab militias.
Assistance for latin America populations experiencing severe weather conditions
France is providing aid for Latin American populations suffering from the effects of severe flooding for the past week, causing tens of deaths and hundreds of thousands of disaster victims.
Responding to the appeal of the Salvadoran government, France has made funds available to its embassy for the purchase of essential items (personal hygiene kits, mattresses and blankets), first aid equipment and building equipment for semi-temporary housing.
Salvador was the first country to call for international aid, and was followed by Nicaragua on 19th October.
The Ministry’s Crisis Center is monitoring the situation.
