Gen Dallaire is the founder of the Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative, a non-profit organisation that strives for eradicating the recruitment and use of Child Soldiers in armed conflicts. The Rtd Gen was accompanied by the Dallaire Initiative’ Executive Director, Dr Shelly Whitman.

Gen Dallaire explained to Minister Kabarebe and Gen Nyamvumba what the envisaged partnership is meant for.

He pointed out that his organization earmarked and chose RDF as a partner mainly due to its internationally well-known professionalism, in particular in Peace Keeping Operations across the globe.

Minister Kabarebe expressed deep gratitude to Gen Dallaire for the initiative. He assured him that the RDF is more than willing to collaborate with the Dallaire Initiative to achieve the shared objective.

In this regards, Gen Kabarebe noted that protecting and preventing children from being used in armed conflicts falls under RDF doctrine of protecting every time innocent civilians.

The officers held private talks about child soldiers
