00:04.340 --> 00:06.118
the concept of civil affairs is

00:06.118 --> 00:07.729
relatively new in africa and

00:07.729 --> 00:09.490
implementation at times may be

00:09.490 --> 00:11.780
dangerous . The Kenyan military is

00:11.780 --> 00:13.724
working with civil authorities and

00:13.724 --> 00:15.724
populations to lessen the impact of

00:15.724 --> 00:17.780
military operations , coordination ,

00:17.780 --> 00:19.891
fosters understanding and cooperation

00:19.891 --> 00:22.260
with local inhabitants . Will find it

00:22.270 --> 00:25.560
very , very important for soldiers now

00:25.560 --> 00:28.120
to interact with civilians because uh

00:28.130 --> 00:30.540
as you know , whichever military launch

00:30.540 --> 00:33.660
into their uh whatever area needs to

00:33.660 --> 00:35.750
have good relations between the

00:35.750 --> 00:37.861
civilians and the military commanders

00:37.861 --> 00:41.040
on the ground , able to not interfere

00:41.040 --> 00:42.929
with the civilians well doing the

00:42.929 --> 00:45.280
operations . We have different kinds of

00:45.280 --> 00:47.169
scenarios where which ranges from

00:47.169 --> 00:50.370
permissive hostel and uncertain

00:50.370 --> 00:53.070
environments whereby in hostile and

00:53.070 --> 00:56.490
find the students directing with actors

00:56.500 --> 00:58.990
over rebel nature well in a permissive

00:58.990 --> 01:00.990
environment that just engaging with

01:00.990 --> 01:02.880
some key leaders in a peaceful

01:02.880 --> 01:05.360
environment scenarios . Also focused on

01:05.360 --> 01:07.693
medical needs and other health concerns .

01:07.693 --> 01:09.693
Communication with the community is

01:09.693 --> 01:11.693
essential in assessing for critical

01:11.693 --> 01:13.916
infrastructure projects . Civil Affairs

01:13.916 --> 01:15.638
teams strive to improve living

01:15.638 --> 01:17.360
conditions and foster positive

01:17.360 --> 01:17.320
relations in the lands they are

01:17.320 --> 01:19.380
visiting When they deployed as an

01:19.390 --> 01:21.501
engineer brigades . They also want to

01:21.501 --> 01:23.780
take part of the soldiers that are

01:23.790 --> 01:27.410
training C8 and utilize them as

01:27.410 --> 01:30.460
a liaison between the military and the

01:30.460 --> 01:32.770
civilians . When Civil Affairs

01:32.770 --> 01:34.659
operations are successful , these

01:34.659 --> 01:36.800
projects create new roads , clinics ,

01:36.940 --> 01:39.107
schools and water treatment facilities

01:39.107 --> 01:40.773
which helped build invaluable

01:40.773 --> 01:42.718
friendships with local populations
