Nairobi, Monday, September 8, 2025 ­- The Commission of the African Union, Peace Support Operations Division (PSOD), led by Col. Sofiane, visited the Secretariat of the Eastern Africa Standby Force (EASF) with the aim of appraising its communication capabilities.

The visit is part of the Commission's intent to implement a Command, Control, Communication, and Information System (C3IS) architecture.
