PMPF

Could you please refrain from uploading the information with regard to EU training PMPF. It is not true. One issue among several discussed at the meeting on 27.3.2014 on board the EUNAVFOR ship Siroco is that the EU Capacity Building Mission EUCAP Nestor will train Puntland Port Police in Djibouti and not PMPF. Currently, the EU can't provide any training to PMPF because of the Embargo. Regards,

Both links clearly indicate that it's the PMPF that the EU will train/support, not the Bosaso Port police [1][2]. Your timing is also duly noted. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 15:24, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

I notice here that you assert that you are the "Public Information Officer of EUCAP Nestor, the EU CSDP capacity building mission in the Horn of Africa." Please substantiate this with a note from EUCAP Nestor officials; I'll give you a week. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 15:42, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

EUCN: Have a look at the official PR of the event under the following link (http://www.eucap-nestor.eu/en/press_office/press_releases/542/?year=2014&month=3). It does not talk at all about PMPF just about general activities of the EU with Puntland. We have not communicated in public yet about the training of the Puntland Port Police that will take place in Djibouti from April to the end of May, but it was of course discussed with Puntland authorities on board the Siroco on 27.3. and of course with the responsible authorities since many weeks. The other article cited as a source just refers to Puntland Marine Forces and not to Puntland Maritime Police forces (http://sabahionline.com/en_GB/articles/hoa/articles/newsbriefs/2014/03/28/newsbrief-06?change_locale=true). It is this article that created the confusion as it talks about Puntland Marine Forces! The EU can not engage currently in training PMPF because of several issues amongst others that any activity in Somalia linnked to training, advising, financing needs to be notified to the UN Sanctions Committee beforehand according to Security Council Resolution 2142. And for my identification check the press release section on our homepage: (http://www.eucap-nestor.eu/data/file/536/2014%2003%2023%20-%20PR%2011_2014%20-%20Fire%20Fighting%20Exercise%20EN%20Final.H-Jxix8it7.pdf) My name is Sonia Khoudja and I am working with EUCAP Nestor (www.eucap-nestor.eu and https://www.facebook.com/eucapnestor) since September 2013. I do not know how to add my employment letter here but if you have an email, I can send it to you. Regards, EUCNEUCN (talk) 07:07, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Please don't add your employment letter. It would probably be under copyright and that would cause problems. Just follow the instructions below to contact a volunteer who is set up to handle this sort of thing. Middayexpress and I are also volunteers but we don't normally handle this type of situation. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 19:11, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

If the EU is indeed only slated to provide training in Djibouti to the Bosaso Port Police (what you originally indicated) rather than the Puntland Maritime Police Force, then I of course agree that that's what should be indicated. However, no evidence has been provided to substantiate this. The EU press release on the agreement indicates that "in particular, it was discussed how the different EU instruments can support Puntland’s role in the development of the comprehensive Somali Maritime and Resources Strategy as included in the New Deal Compact" [3]. That Somali Maritime and Resources Strategy in turn specifically alludes to maritime security forces [4], which is also what the Puntland President indicates the EU agreement pertains to ("we welcome this renewed cooperation with the European Union to improve maritime security in Puntland" [5]). At any rate, I'll contact an admin and he/she can help you safely substantiate your EUCAP Nestor credentials. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 16:53, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

I was not contacted by an admin yet. I just have one question: Where did you find a reference to the EU training PMPF apart from the publication on wikipedia. Neither the article you indicated, nor our Press release refers to PMPF but to Maritime Security. Regards,EUCN (talk) 19:23, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

This one, for starters. On the other hand, none of the principals mention anything about training the Bosaso port police. You'll have the opportunity to confirm your credentials shortly. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 19:48, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Editing

Good day. Wikipedia can't remove information just because you claim to be associated with the EUCAP and have inside information. The material added was sourced and should stay until such time as another source is provided showing it not to be true. IF you have information as to what is actually going to happen but can't release it for some reason then please take a look at Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team. That will lead to Wikipedia:Contact us - Subjects and provide the email address to contact, info-en-qwikimedia.org. You can also provide them with with information on who you are and everything remains confidential. One last thing, and I realise this is a lot of reading, but you should look at Wikipedia:Username policy. In particular the section Usernames implying shared use and the second bullet point. Your username give the impression that you are affiliated with the EU. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 19:07, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I again deleted the reference to EU training PMPF as it is not correct. It is not inside information but you can read it on our webpage: http://www.eucap-nestor.eu/en/press_office/press_releases/569/?year=2014&month=10. This first training courses ended in May and was conducted for Bosaso Port Police and Galmudug Coast Guard. Another training course is currently being held in Djibouti again for Bosaso Port Police and Galmudug Coast Guard as well as for Federal Government Coast Guard.
