He's using google translate, anybody can type any language with google translate.

craziebone:


haha! Why don't you copy some of my texts or his' and google translate it and see if you will get a translation. You won't! The reason is: there are no tones at the top of the "Pinyin" (transliteration) we are using to communicate here and until you put the tones, the google mechanism cannot decipher what you actually mean.

There are reasons for me to be sure he knows i am not fake.

@chinese 8107 how did you find this site?

Henry240:


You're taking this Super-Tucano thing to literally. They shouldn't shove anything anywhere, it should be transfered/sold or whatever to Nigeria.


Let's look at the advantages of having the Tucano, plus it's a transfer.

Or we can look at the disadvantages of waiting 5 years for congress to give consent for a transfer....

Wake up, stop kissing american a$$ and find a more feasible option and a more reliable partner.

UAE Abjan Special Operations Vehicle (SOV)


Nimr automative of the UAE has some really good-looking armoured vehicles, infact the entire UAE defence industry is growing well. It is nice to see a country of 2 million people produce multiple world-class defence products while many African countries(including Nigeria) are lagging behind or generally not doing anything.

chinese8107:

any video about its off road performance?

chinese8107:


this vehicle looks good in shape.but is it too high in the front face? Isn' it a modified humvee or xiaolong with higher bottum deck adjustment ? Of course it depends on the users' desert enviroment and favor. If they think it's OK there is no problem. in fact UAE's defence industry combine technology from different countries the engine is bought from somewhere,the transmisson is bought from somewhere as they as money to do so.

Henry240:


They sell quite a lot of Nimr APCs in the Middle-East & North-Africa region. It's an original Emarati vehicle, not a copy. I've seen a couple units in Yemen.


As far the UAE defence industry, that's practically what every other defence manufacturer does.

Kenya threatens to pull troops out of Somalia

Kenya may withdraw its troops from Somalia if the international community does not plug funding gaps for the operation, President Uhuru Kenyatta has warned.

At a meeting with envoys from the UN Security Council on Friday, the President told the diplomats that funding cuts to the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) will not be filled by participating countries.

“As one of Amisom’s major troop contributing countries, Kenya is questioning whether it was worth the huge cost. [President] Kenyatta asserted that Amisom was not getting the support it needed in terms of resources and equipment, and argued that the UN needed to take on a much greater role,” the UN Security Council Report, an online bulletin by the Council stated on Friday.

“Referring to the recent cuts in EU support, he said it was not Kenya’s role to close the funding gap and the logical conclusion would be for Kenya to pull out its troops.”

The President also defended the Kenya Defence Forces from accusations by a team of UN investigators that they were engaging in illegal activities.

“Kenyatta also raised the issue of accusations against Kenyan troops being involved in trafficking of charcoal and other goods in Somalia, saying that if people did not appreciate what they were doing, there was no reason for them to stay.”

The diplomats from the UN’s most powerful body met President Kenyatta to discuss the planned repatriation of Somali refugees, regional security and Somalia stabilisation plan.

Egyptian Permanent Representative to the UN and current UNSC President Abedellatif Aboulatta and other envoys were told the international community was doing little.

SACOIL gas pipeline to connect SA & Mozambique

ABN – Independent South African oil and gas company SACOIL Holdings has announced plans to build a 2,600-kilometre gas pipeline connecting gas fields in South Africa and Mozambique.

The US$6 billion pipeline is intended to harness the commercial potential of gas reserves discovered in the Rovuma sedimentary basin in the Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado.

Under a joint development agreement, Mozambique’s National Institute for Management of State Holdings (IGEPE) and South Africa’s Investment Corporation SOC Limited (PIC) will conduct the technical and commercial feasibility study for the project.

SACOIL said in a statement: “Power production at thermal power plants, as well as the supply of gas to industries, domestic consumption and vehicles, are some of the objectives that will be evaluated by the feasibility study, which will outline the potential of natural gas as clean energy to reduce carbon emissions and associated environmental effect.”

3 killed in an attack in N Tanzania mosque

DAR ES SALAAM, May 19 (Xinhua) -- A group of gangsters on Wednesday night stormed a mosque in Tanzania's northern region of Mwanza, killing three people, including the leader of the mosque, police have said.

Ahmed Msangi, the Mwanza regional police commander, said the trio was hacked to death by sharp objects believed to be machetes.

A 13-year-old boy was wounded as he tried to get out of the mosque using the women's entrance. He has been rushed to the Nyamagana district hospital.

Two survivors of the attack said the gangsters displayed a black flag with white words reading "Islamic State".

"They were about 15, and had covered their faces with masks when they stormed into the mosque," said the survivors.

"The attackers switched off lights in the mosque before they started ordering children to walk out through a rear door usually used by women," said one of the survivors, Abubakar Makabwe.

"Before they began slashing our colleagues, they asked us why we were in the mosque while our fellow believers were in police custody," added Makabwe.

Another survivor, Ridhwan Abdallah, said it appeared to be a woman who ordered the killings.

"It was a woman, according to the voice, who ordered that the leader of mosque should be the first to be killed," said Abdallah.

Police identified the leader of the Rahman mosque as Feruz Ismail, 27, and the two others killed as Mbwana Rajab, 40, and Khamisi Mponda, 28.

It's a nice looking Tugboat, however, why does it take the military so long to build this stuff. I mean we've been this boat for the past 3 years. A project which shouldn't take more than 6 months to build.


I posted a photo of this vessel while under-construction 3 years ago.
