Eye of the Sahel informed that the "tips and pieces of advice were given to them by Colonel Jackson Kamgain, Director of Military Engineering on Thursday, December 17, 2015."

In his speech, he recalled the context of the development of this training.

"The military genius, which is the military explosives expert, has undertaken a capacity of its staff development program in the fight against IEDs, since 2014. Thus, in partnership with France, during the first half of 2015, four officers were trained in France; six officers in Garoua; and 70 non -commissioned personnel, trained in destruction and route opening. This is a capacity building of the military engineering specialists who are already deployed as part of the operation Emergence 4 and Alpha will enable them to respond effectively on improvised explosive devices.
