Mauritania receives last set of EU-funded camels

摘要

The Mauritanian National Guard has taken delivery of a final batch of 200 camels that was handed over to its Nomadic Group at Achemim on the border with Mali by France's Management Institute for International Security (THEMIIS). Peer de Jong, THEMIIS's senior vice president for development, told Jane's that the company was contracted by the European Union following an international tender to purchase and deliver the camels, as well as equipment such as saddles, for the National Guard under the Ghawdat (Mehari in Arabic) programme of the EU's Mauritania Security and Development Support Project (PADSM).
