Hungarian Officers in EUSEC RD Congo

Currently two Hungarian field officers – Col. Sándor Nagy (for four years now) and Lt.-Col. Mihály Nyirai – are serving with the EUSEC mission’s advisory team in South Kivu. Their task is not easy, because the creation of social stability for families is an indispensable precondition for the stabilization of the armed forces.

After a long preparatory phase, the implementation of several CIMIC projects has recently started with the aims of upgrading the aid posts in three military camps and expanding the water pipeline network in the military camp of Bukavu.

There is another project in progress, namely the construction of a sheltered workshop where – according to plans – the military wives, the war invalids and the war orphans will have opportunity to participate in various training programs. Currently three training courses are scheduled to start: the first is a tailor and dressmaker course, the second is a soap-making one for all interested, while the third is a course for women, to be launched with the aim of combating widespread illiteracy.
