EU to train Mauritania, Mali security forces

2010-02-02

European Union security experts concluded a 10-day visit to Mauritania to assess how more than 156m euros of unallocated EU funds can best support the country's counter-terrorism efforts, RFI reported on Monday (February 1st). Among the projects under consideration are training programs for investigators, magistrates, police and gendarmes. The EU funds are also expected to rehabilitate fifty-three border posts and strengthen crossing procedures by making identity documents more secure.

As part of the EU effort to stem al-Qaeda activity in the Sahel-Saharan region, the European Development Fund (FED) will also support training for Malian police and judicial officials, PANA reported on Tuesday.
