Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief of Defence Staff of the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF), Gen Mubarakh Muganga, has called on African military colleges to invest in digital education infrastructure and deepen cooperation across borders.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the official closing of the 19th African Conference of Commandants (ACoC), held in Kigali from November 10 to 12, Muganga said the future of Africa\u2019s military education depends on innovation and collaboration.<\/p>\n

Officers follow Gen Muganga’s remarks at the official closing of the 19th African Conference of Commandants (ACoC), held in Kigali from November 10 to 12,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outcomes of this conference, the adopted guidelines, frameworks, and resolutions, should not remain on paper. They must be translated into tangible action within our respective institutions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us commit to implementing the recommendations agreed upon, to investing in digital education infrastructure, and to strengthening our cooperation across borders.\u201d<\/p>\n

He commended the participants for demonstrating over the three days that Africa\u2019s military education future lies in collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose.<\/p>\n

The RDF chief underscored the importance of integrating technology into military training systems, promoting interoperability, and nurturing leaders capable of commanding multinational missions to address Africa’s evolving security challenges.<\/p>\n

Rwanda hands over ACoC chairmanship to Tanzania<\/p>\n

The three-day conference brought together leaders in military education from across the continent to strengthen cooperation among African command and staff colleges. Discussions centred on harmonisation, standardisation, and the creation of exchange frameworks for students and directing staff, all aimed at advancing the ACoC\u2019s mission of promoting excellence in military training and education.<\/p>\n

The event concluded with Rwanda handing over the ACoC Chairmanship to Tanzania for a term of one year.<\/p>\n

In his acceptance remarks, Maj. Gen. Stephen Mnkande, Commandant of the Tanzania People\u2019s Defence Force Command and Staff College, pledged to uphold ACoC\u2019s high standards and promote knowledge sharing across member institutions and collaboration throughout his tenure.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on Rwanda\u2019s term as ACoC Chair, Brig Gen Andrew Nyamvumba, Commandant of the RDF Command and Staff College, said the gathering reaffirmed Africa\u2019s shared commitment to advancing professional military education across the continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur tenure has been guided by a simple yet vital objective, to strengthen the bonds of collaboration among our institutions and to champion the harmonization of our training and doctrines,\u201d Nyamvumba said.<\/p>\n

He noted that Rwanda\u2019s leadership focused on fostering dialogue, sharing best practices, and enhancing interoperability among African militaries to strengthen the African Standby Force.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we are proud of the progress made, the work of ACoC is a continuous relay, a race we run together, passing the baton to ensure momentum is never lost,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Nyamvumba expressed confidence in Tanzania\u2019s leadership, commending the country\u2019s experience and commitment to advancing military professionalism on the continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cTanzania brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to African military professionalism. We have no doubt that under their leadership, the ACoC Troika will continue to flourish, breaking new ground and driving our collective agenda forward with vision and vigour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He reaffirmed Rwanda\u2019s full support to the new Chair, noting that the RDF Command and Staff College stands ready to cooperate and contribute to the shared mission.<\/p>\n
