During the ceremony, Minister of Defence Costas Papacostas handed over the material to the French Embassy Charge d'Affaires Emmanuelle Blatmann, whose country is leading the EU initiative.

The decision was taken following a proposal by the French Ministry of Defence, according to Security Council Resolution 1863/2009, which urged UN members to contribute to the training and armament of the Security Forces of Somalia, in cooperation with the UN, the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) and the Authorities in Somalia. 

Well, the United Nations might have asked the world to help Somalia, commented Ecoterra International, but not Cyprus to "donate" expiring, used military material to Somalia in order to safe the decommissioning costs and get resupplied with new stuff from European taxpayers money via France and Greece.
