Ufaransa inaeleza kusimama kwa meli za jeshi Mombasa

Balozi ya Ufaransa imetoa maelezo kuhusu kuwasili kwa zaidi ya askari 800 wa Ufaransa bandari ya Mombasa tarehe 13 Machi. Kusimama huko kutoka 13 hadi 16 Machi ni sehemu ya operesheni ya Jeanne d'Arc ya miezi mitano. Lengo ni kuhakikisha uhuru wa majini na kumaliza mafunzo ya kadeti.

Tarehe 13 Machi, Jumapili, zaidi ya askari 800 wa Ufaransa walifika bandari ya Mombasa, na kuwasha maswali miongoni mwa umma kuhusu madhumuni yao. Balozi ya Ufaransa ilitoa taarifa rasmi tarehe 16 Machi, Jumatatu, ikielezea kuwa kundi la meli za majini la Ufaransa - operesheni ya Jeanne d'Arc lenye meli Dixmude na Aconit - kilisimama Mombasa kama sehemu ya misheni ya miezi mitano ya kusafiri Bahari ya Hindi na Pasifiki. “Kundi la meli za majini la Ufaransa - operesheni ya Jeanne d'Arc lenye meli Dixmude na Aconit - kilisimama Mombasa kutoka 13 hadi 16 Machi kama sehemu ya misheni ya miezi mitano ya kusafiri Bahari ya Hindi na Pasifiki. Lengo ni kuhakikisha uhuru wa majini na kumaliza mafunzo ya kadeti wa Ufaransa na kimataifa,” ilisema ubalozi. Kusimama huko pia kulenga ushirikiano wa kimkakati na usalama wa bahari, ikisaidia misheni ya Atalanta ya Umoja wa Ulaya dhidi ya uharamia. Kenya na Ufaransa zina makubaliano ya ushirikiano wa ulinzi yaliyosainiwa Oktoba 2025, yanayohusisha mafunzo, mazoezi ya pamoja, kushiriki taarifa za ujasusi na kubadilishana maafisa na jeshi la Kenya. Balozi Arnaud Suquet alisema kuwa kupeleka huko ni sehemu ya ushirikiano mpana wa usalama kati ya Nairobi na Paris ili kuimarisha uhusiano wa ulinzi na uthabiti katika eneo la Bahari ya Hindi. Maelezo haya yalitolewa wakati wa wasiwasi kutokana na mvutano unaoongezeka Mashariki ya Kati, ambapo Ufaransa imeongeza uwepo wa kijeshi, lakini jukumu lake ni la kujilinda.
