Briefing newsmen yesterday in Awka at the launching of what it tagged Exercise Python Dance in all the South-East region with its step up quarters in Anambra State, the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 82 Division Enugu, Col Sagir Musa, said the prevailing security issues in the region informed the decision for the launch.
