So the National Guard built underground bunkers in sambisa 3 stories under the ground in the 1980s
And left all the weapons they used for training there
The fuqqq
I had always wondered how Boko haram had the sophistry to build underground bunkers in sambisa.
This Boko haram matter is becoming curiouser and curiouser...

Christmas is specifically for destroying chickens, cows and goats, not a day for eating grass.

Djibouti President Heading to Egypt for a Visit

President Al-Sisi invited President Ismail Omar Guelleh. Egypt-Saudi tension bubbling over planned Djibouti base. president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of Egypt will receive on Monday President of Djibouti، Ismail Omar Guelleh، to conduct bilateral talks between the two countries.

The summit is due to be followed by a joint press conference to talk to the media.

The relationship between Egypt and Djibouti is strong and historical. However, recent plans by Saudi Arabia to establish a military base on the coast of Djibouti have made the Egyptian government suspicious as strained relations between Cairo and Riyadh show little sign of improving.

Egypt in the past has announced that any threat to one country is a threat to the other. For that, both sides are cooperating in the security of the Red Sea.

Egypt considers Djibouti to be under its sphere of influence as its location is so important for its national security.

You don't think that's the reason I asked?

UAE presence expands in Africa

The United Arab Emirates has signed an agreement to establish a second foreign military base in the Horn of Africa.

The new base, according to the source present at the negotiations, will be established at the coastal city of Berbera in Somaliland and will be an air and naval base. According to the government source the MoU was signed in the last week of September when a senior Somaliland delegation was in the UAE.

The self governing semi-autonomous Somaliland and the UAE enjoyed close political, economic and military ties since 2012.

The cooperation between the two countries intensified after the UAE's involvement in the Yemen operations where the region's strategic location south of the Bab al Mandeb strait proved crucial to their projection capabilities.

An area of 40km sq compromising of Berbera airport and sea front have been provided to the UAE for a period of 25 years and is renewable, the source added.

The base has been provided in exchange for security training, support and protection to the autonomous region, the source added, providing a much needed security blanket to Somaliland which borders Somalia to the south.

Just five kilometres away from the base UAE ports giant, Dubai Ports World, has signed earlier this year a $442 million deal to develop Berbera port. The 30 year deal will see the commercial port expanded and doubled in size next to a large free zone and other infrastructure projects to provide a new gate way to Ethiopia, Africa's fastest growing economy.

According to Alexander Mello, security analyst at New York based Horizon Client Access the UAE's plan to operate their Eritrean Assab base simultaneously with the Berbera base is quite plausible.

'Assab is still a pretty austere base, the work the UAE is doing there - especially the the expansion of the hangars and apron and building a new docking facility for UAE vessels 10km north of of current Assab port - is consistent with a long-term UAE presence,' Mello said.
