Senior Tz military officers here on study tour

A Tanzanian delegation of 28 army generals and senior officers arrived in the country Saturday for a week-long study tour. The team, headed by Brig. Gen. Ezekiel Elias Kyunga, the Commandant of the Tanzania Command and Staff College in Monduli, paid a courtesy call on the RDF Chief of Defence Staff, Lt. Gen. Charles Kayonga, on Monday. Shortly after meeting Kayonga, the head of the delegation told reporters that during the course of studies, students have a programme whereby they are required to visit foreign countries to enhance their knowledge.“For this year’s course, we decided to bring the students to Rwanda so that they can have an opportunity to learn what is happening on ground,” said Kyunga. He said that through classroom theory, students learn about regional countries, and “need to make a detailed study on the economy, politics and general development of a country.” “This year, we thought it necessary that our students come to this country and look at the efforts that Rwanda is undertaking to enhance development of its people.” Early Monday morning, the team visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial where they laid a wreath in honour of the over 250,000 victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
