One of the soldiers shown in the video has a South African flag on his armband, and is thus believed to be a member of the South African contingent of SAMIM.<\/p>\n<p>The statement from Geingob said that the SAMIM leadership has begun investigations into the circumstances under which the video was shot, and promised that, once the investigations are concluded, their findings will be shared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to stress categorically that SADC does not tolerate the acts reflected in the video\u201d, said Geingob, \u201cand, once the investigations are over, SADC will take appropriate measures, in accordance with international law on armed conflicts\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the SAMIM forces have always behaved \u201cin a professional, efficient and responsible manner, in accordance with the applicable laws and the rules of engagement which govern SAMIM operations on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Geingob reiterated SADC\u2019s \u201ccommitment to peace and security in the region\u201d.
