Sketchy information are out presently

saw a video but it looks more like they are firing into the air than at the crowd.... Still not acceptable though...

Habane:
There is no need to white wash anything, the soldiers fired directly at the protesters at Lekki toll gate, but most of the pictures you see on the internet about the incident are not related to the incident

Gosh, where have you been the last few days? Nigerian citizens living in RSA protested at their embassy in Pretoria and at Parliament in Cape Town. Wednesday and Thursday, I think it was.

jln115:
I know about the SARS protests dickhead..... Its the news of the army firing on citizens that is new news for me

Lurker4Long:


They took to the streets here in SA specifically in response to the shootings, dickhead

jln115:
Ok and? How long ago was this?

Lurker4Long:


The shootings occurred Tuesday night, and hundreds marched on the Nigerian embassy in Pretoria on Wednesday in response. Thursday saw hundreds converge on Parliament in Cape Town. It's all over the news.

jln115:

Lurker4Long:

In the second pic, is that a SOLAR PANEL on the bonnet? Are there ‘MILITARY GRADE SOLAR PANELS'?
If yes, what practical uses will it have in a conflict environment?

According to Spanish Newspaper El Español. Morocco signed an agreement with the US that allows them to aquire the F-35 stealth fighter and off the shelf weapons. The 10 years agreement is part of the heavy modernization plan of the Royal Moroccan Army which increased the defense budget by 12 billion dollars.

according to moroccan military sites , its only a Far-right spanish politics propaganda to put a pressur on spanish gouvernment to increase its military budget .

the 12 billion dollars budget for acquisition is correct .
