He insisted that for effectiveness of operations, citizens must offer credible intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need a guide, you need information. Will they tell us? That\u2019s one of the issues we have been ensuring to overcome, with civil-military cooperation activities, reaching out to them, even sending people by proxy to talk to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spokesman lamented that locals keep quiet even when they know insurgents have planted bombs against troops.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur patrols will pass through a route, in a village. By the time you are going, some people are looking at you. When you are coming back, the next thing is that you meet an IED planted on the road. And people saw them, they won\u2019t tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enenche added that it is not possible to force information out of people.<\/p>\n

The General said the military is trying to build up people\u2019s confidence in the system and encourage them to divulge useful information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
