Somalia’s HirShabelle State launches second phase of police recruitment


Belet Weyne, 21 April 2019 - HirShabelle State has launched the second phase of its

police recruitment programme with the enlisting of 200 youths from Hiran region.

The exercise was conducted in Belet Weyne by Somali Police Force and African

Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) officers.

“We have a very good number of recruits, most important, we have a good

percentage of women and they will be going in for medical checkups and other tests

conducted by AMISOM Police,” said Superintendent of Police (SP) Philemon Dantim,

AMISOM Police Team leader in Belet Weyne.

Of the 200 youths recruited, 125 are from Hiran region, while the remaining 75 came

from Middle Shabelle region.

HirShabelle State plans to recruit 800 police officers under a grand programme

supported AMISOM, European Union and the UK Department for International

Development. The current recruitment comes two months after the graduation of

the first batch of police recruits who have since been deployed to various parts of

HirShabelle to maintain law and order.

SP Dantim noted that the recruitment and training exercise was aimed at

establishing a strong police force capable of securing the region once AMISOM exits.

Hiran Police Commander, Isak Ali Abdulle, said the recruits were selected not only on
the basis of clan and regional representation but also on merit.
“The recruits comprise both male and female. They were selected based on their

merit. We allowed the clans to share the numbers so that we establish a real federal

police and not one from a particular clan,” said Mr. Abdulle.

The youths were recruited from the districts of Belet Weyne, Mataban, and Mahas.
Recruitment from other districts, mainly Bula-burde and Mataban, is planned for the
24th and 25th of this month.

The recruits expressed their joy in joining the police force, saying they were read for
the three-month intensive training to be conducted by AMISOM officers.

“I am pleased to be one of the new police recruits for HirShabelle State. [I am ready]
to serve my region and apply what I learnt so as to develop the state,” said Nasro
Mohamed Elmi.

Her sentiments were echoed by Urur Abdulle Mumin who said he will use his skills
and education experience to contribute to the development of HirShabelle.
Their colleague Yusuf Muhumed Mohamed added that it will be an honour to serve
his community as a police officer.

“The reason why I decided to join the police is due to the need for this region to
have a trained police force that will effectively serve the community and meet needs
of the residents,” said Mr. Mohamed.
