O meu briefing bi-semanal sobre seguranca

"An incident occurred yesterday at twelvehundred hours in the locality of Mike-Uniform-Hotel-Alpha-Juliet-Echo-Romeo-India-Alpha, where an INGO convoy of three vehicles transporting NFIs was looted by unidentified attackers. The vehicles had left Nyala at zeroninehundred hoursNone of the vehicles was MoSS compliant so they were unable to establish radio communication with Sierra Base. Communication was fortunately established via one Thuraya that the assailants for some reason did not take. We advise all staff to check all vehicles for MoSS compliance and to communicate with the base throughout their journey. UNDSS will not issue MoPs for the area at stake until the FSCA assesses the situation on the ground. Please advise all HOs and OICs to attend the SMT meeting."
