FREETOWN: Maj. Gen. Mohammed Al-Moghedi, secretary-general of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition, has launched a military training program on counter-terrorism operations and live mine and explosive ordnance disposal in Sierra Leone, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Thursday.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Sierra Leonean Armed Forces Chief of General Staff, Maj. Gen. Sahr David Thomas Ngaujah.
The program targets 30 officers and non-commissioned officers from the country’s armed forces and security agencies.
It is a key component of the coalition’s broader mission to strengthen the capabilities of national cadres within member states and elevate their operational readiness across all counter-terrorism domains.
The initiative will run until Feb. 3, targeting the training and capacity-building of security personnel through an intensive 15-day program.
The initiative will boost the skills and capabilities of the personnel through the transfer of advanced professional knowledge and expertise, enabling them to address complex terrorist threats through high-level scientific and professional methods.
