Chinese media is a joke

Unless the story is "China grows stronger due to glorious Ccp"

Heartwrenching,


Xray shows a 14.5mm lodged in the neck of a Nigerian soldier fighting Boko-Haram, luckily the soldier survived the surgery to remove the bullet from his neck at the Military Hospital in Maiduguri and is recovering back home.



N/B, a 14.5mm round is an AA round. A 14.5mm would tear through an MRAP like hot knife through butter.

from yesterday SPLA soldiers were on a killing,raping and looting spree,if you have someone in juba just pray he or she is safe

Mr HENRY
I am sorry to be a bother however this is currently trending on DEFENCE WEB
however the source just details " African Customer " which means it could be
Algeria, Equatorial Guinea or Nigeria, however because Nigeria out of the three Countries
specifically operates these Platforms, Suspicion will fall heavily on Nigeria given the Petroleum
Minister's statements, please can you confirm.

The was much discussion in the media (well CCTV) prior to the deployment. Of what must happen if the peacekeepers find themselves in this situation.
