Vietnam's Army of Engineers builds smart barracks in Africa

According to information from the Vietnamese Engineering Corps at the UNISFA Mission (Abyei region, Africa), starting from February 12th (the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year 2024), the Vietnamese Engineering Corps there continued implementing the smart camp construction project. The project is divided into 3 phases with a total of 30 building modules and various utility and support facilities.

Vietnamese military engineers in Africa began implementing a smart barracks construction project in the early days of the Year of the Dragon 2024.

Currently, the Vietnamese Engineering Corps has completed phases 1 and 2, and 60% of phase 3. Many modules (prefabricated housing systems) have been put into use, including office buildings, housing, a central dining hall, kitchens, a gymnasium, and toilet facilities.

It is expected that in the first half of this year, the team will complete the remaining items, including 3 housing modules, a water treatment system, a solid waste treatment system, a repair station, a generator area, a solar power station, a lighting system, a security and surveillance system, and environmental landscaping.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese Engineering Corps is also constructing a smart camp for the Nepalese unit at the UNISFA mission headquarters. Currently, the team has completed 1 out of 18 building modules. It is expected that in the second half of 2024, the team will begin construction on a smart camp project for the Chinese rapid response unit.

In addition, the Vietnamese Engineering Corps has also deployed forces to prepare the ground for the construction of smart camps, digging canals, building embankments, and constructing protective fences around the Pakistani infantry unit's barracks in the Difra area, in the northern Abyei sector.

The team also took advantage of the dry season to open new branch roads and patrol routes, ensuring smooth traffic flow to serve the mission's regular and unexpected missions.

Recently, the Command of the Vietnamese Engineering Corps also met with the UNISFA Police Commissioner to share the challenges related to security issues in the past period. They also outlined future goals to enhance security in the Abyei area through the support of the Vietnamese Engineering Corps in repairing and renovating the prisoner detention facility in Amiet, etc.

The UNISFA Police leadership highly appreciated the assistance of the Vietnamese Engineering Corps in enhancing security in the area, and also welcomed Vietnam's deployment of police officers to the mission in the near future. In the future, a Vietnamese police contingent may be deployed to the mission.
