7. Morocco – Power Index: 1.8499 Highly dependent on foreign equipment, the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces have been involved in the conflict with the POLISARO, a liberation movement fighting for the independence of Western Sahara. They are involved in numerous peacekeeping missions, including in Somalia. The military has at its disposal 2,120 armored fighting vehicles, 1,348 tanks, 323 total aircraft pieces, and a total naval strength of 121.

6. Kenya – Power Index: 1.7689 Kenya has established itself as a vital participant in international peacekeeping missions, and is able to do so due to its merchant marine strength and an enormous labor force – resulting in high available manpower. Though it doesn’t possess as much of its own equipment, its role as a member of international teams allows the Kenyan military to share resources with other countries, strengthening its own capabilities at the same time.

5. Nigeria – Power Index: 1.5261 Due to its size, it’s no surprise that several hundred thousand troops comprise the Nigerian Armed Forces – army, navy, and air force. Like Algeria, an abundant domestic oil supply eases the financial burden of involvement in military conflict. Nigeria has more than 1,400 armored vehicles, 360 tanks, and 6,000 logistical vehicles at its disposal, as well as nearly 300 aircraft and 25 high-powered naval vessels. 1 Like

4. South Africa – Power Index: 1.3467 As it hasn’t been embroiled in an international military conflict for some time, South Africa uses its highly advanced military for peacekeeping and international cooperation. Its aircraft and naval vessels are notoriously well equipped with the latest technology, and though the country has less than 100,000 active front line personnel, it has the capabilities and manpower for much more. Add to that a vast array of land system technology, and the South African military is a force to be reckoned with.

3. Ethiopia – Power Index: 1.3229 As a landlocked country, Ethiopia has focused its resources on developing its army and air force to an impressive degree (the GFP doesn’t penalize landlocked countries for not having a naval force). Several hundred thousand personnel make up its current force, and it has significant numbers of land and air systems at its disposal. An enormous population allows Ethiopia to maintain a large fighting force, and gives the country one of the greatest militaries on the continent.

2. Algeria – Power Index: 1.1698 As Algeria has a large maritime border, it has developed all its military capabilities to an impressively modern degree, including its land, sea, and air forces. Algeria’s active frontline personnel number more than 127,000 troops and it has nearly 2,000 armored fighting vehicles at its disposal. Algeria also has the added benefit of its own oil reserves, allowing it to use its own fuel to power tanks, aircraft carriers, naval vessels, and more.

1. Egypt – Power Index: 0.6122 Egypt puts itself over the top with regard to military strength due to the sheer size of its armed forces. Nearly 500,000 personnel serve on its active frontline force, far surpassing all its African counterparts. It has nearly 10,000 armored fighting vehicles, 60,000 logistical vehicles, 900 aircraft, and large oil reserves from which to draw. The military has been somewhat undermined in the wake of the Egyptian Revolution, but some argue that its increased role in government has made it stronger than ever. Whether or not this is a cause for celebration or concern will remain debated for some time to come. - See more at: http://afkinsider.com/30022/powerful-militaries-africa/17/#sthash.zpa57gDp.dpuf

Rwandan army weakened by genocide to crush Nigerian military? Senseless assertion! You think the ND militants suffered NA? Ok, let me clear u. You see, if not for the offensive the NA took to the militants in the creek to decimate and weaken their cohesion and operation, there is no way they(militants) would have accepted the amnesty programe handed to them by president yaradua and allowed peace to reign in that region. If the people had taken foreign efforts into consideration , i dont think no country could have stood on our way to number one in africa. Forget the fact that our military is foot-dragging against boko haram, they can still hold their own on a good day. |
