(B2) Eight pinasses were handed over on Friday (November 8): 5 for the Gendarmerie and 3 for the National Guard. Four will soon join Ségou, where they will notably be able to contribute to the security of the next Festival sur le Niger.

Each of which can carry ten equipped and armed personnel, they must allow “ the internal security forces to better contribute to security on the river and its surroundings, and to better protect isolated villages “, indicates the European mission EUCAP Sahel Mali, in particular during the rainy season. The twelve boats financed by European funds were manufactured locally in Mopti. This makes it possible to do a double blow by boosting local employment.
