Odunayaw: Ex-Paramount but I'm sure he's laid roots by now! It was an interesting time to be in Angola, with the death of dos Santos and all. I've always loved Luanda, which, like Mindelo in Caboverde, Lagos, Accra, Havana, Salvador do Bahia, New Orleans, Dakar and my own beloved Cape Town, constitute the great cities of the Black Atlantic. Gabon was my first time and felt weird. I have a week there in August and that might allow me to start forming an opinion. 1 Like |

On 12 July 2022, the SADC Mission in Mozambique (SAMIM) Forces paid tribute to a fallen South African soldier, Staff Sergeant Johan Andries van Rooyen, who passed away on Saturday, 09 July 2022 following a short illness. The solemn ceremony was held in Pemba, Cabo Delgado in Mozambique. Staff Sergeant Van Rooyen was born in 1971 in Bloemfontein, Free State. He joined the South African Defence Force (SADF) in 1993. He has served with 14 United Nations and African Union Peacekeeping Missions – in Burundi, Sudan, Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

NTSA: the US SOF are meant to exercise a certain level of operational control. This is a very stupid move by Kenya, giving the us any kind of control of any part of your security will only end up with negative blowback eventually. This is a country which sponsors regime change all over the world through https://www.ned.org/ (cia). They even turn on their own allies like Thailand using "color revolutions." This is how France maintains control over some WAfrican countries, they can enact a military coup at will 7 Likes |

Tinfoil:Americans are involved in one way or another in all conflicts in Africa from the west to East,the only difference is some of their operations have been declassified while others are still classified. Even the weapons and hardware purchased from them come with a certain level of "operational control " . Same to their training programmes. 2 Likes |

He has served with 14 United Nations and African Union Peacekeeping Missions – in Burundi, Sudan, Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Wow, 14 peacekeeping missions.

NTSA: Salute brother. The little shrimp have no other choice than to play nice with the big lobster. But Nigeria is in a class of it's own, with corruption being the national pastime anyone can do ANYTHING there as long as they have money. The only solution is to sanitize it by burning that cess pool to ashes 1 Like |

kikuyu1: I wasn't far from Pakistan defence expenditure per capita estimate! This is their own figure: [ b]On average, Pakistan spends $13,400 per soldier, India $42,000[/b], Saudi Arabia $371,000, Iran $23,000 while the United States allocates $392,000 per soldier annually. The difference, however, between Pakistan and other countries is that the size of their economies is far bigger than Pakistan. [url][https://tribune.com.pk/story/2360953/rs152tr-allocated-for-defence-spendingurl] [b]That, people is why they'll NEVER defeat India!
