EAC military intelligence chiefs converged in Rwanda’s capital Kigali on Monday to devise a common strategy for combatting security threats amid concerns over potential terrorism and radicalisation growth in the region.
The two-day meet of chiefs and directors of military intelligence from all the six EAC member states, as well as the region’s defence and counter terrorism centre envoys will discuss “contemporary issues as far as security situation and peace within the region is concerned,” according to delegates.
