Rwandan Police peacekeepers in South Sudan will continue to execute their peacekeeping mandate under strengthened measures to observe the World Health Organization (WHO) safety guidelines against the novel coronavirus.

Rwanda National Police spokesperson CP John Bosco Kabera said that safety measures are being strengthened to protect all Rwanda National Police peacekeepers serving in different UN missions.

"RNP is saddened by the death of PC Mbabazi Enid, who was part of Rwanda FPU-1 Contingent deployed in Malakal, South Sudan.

We honour PC Mbabazi Enid for her selfless service in ensuring safety and security for her country and restoring peace in other countries.

"We have jointly stepped up measures to further guarantee the safety of peacekeepers including educating them on the spread of the pandemic and ensuring effective protection," CP Kabera said.
