Uganda teams up with Netherlands to fight fake travel papers. Dutch experts will train Uganda's border guards and police officers to spot forged documents. The training started Monday after Uganda caught many people using fake passports at border checkpoints.
Major General Apollo Kasiita-Gowa leads Uganda's immigration office. He says the training comes at the right time because officers keep finding fake papers and people pretending to be someone else. The partnership will help Uganda protect its borders better and keep citizens safe.
Fake documents create major problems around the world. They help criminals move across borders and make human trafficking easier. Bad actors use forged papers to commit crimes and hurt countries' relationships with each other. The fake documents also damage trade and business between nations.
Kasiita-Gowa explains that people from many countries make fake travel papers. Uganda sees forged documents from America, Netherlands, and other places around the world. The problem affects everyone, not just one country or region.
Rob Van Bokhoven works for Dutch justice officials. He says Uganda's officers will learn to tell real documents from fake ones. Ambassador Frederieke Quispel adds that more people travel every day. Countries must work together to make sure travelers use legal documents and follow proper rules.
