Countries do not conventionally use mercenaries on their soil, that is sacrificing the nations sovereignty and signaling the nations Armed forces are inadequate.

This is not a security detail providing protection to VIP customers but foreign individuals who are not part of another nation's armed forces ,operating outside the guidance of the Geneva convention .

GEJ is clueless now we know what the seized money in SA was for.

BluIvy:


Thank you for educating your fellow brothers. Use of mercenaries is against international laws. Same mercenaries are used in coups around Africa and for a democratic president to use such is criminal and corrupt.

Whether Nigerians hate SA they cannot deny the involvement of the SA mercenaries in the fight against Boko Haram. The SA intelligence and home affairs has already sounded an alarm over these mercenaries and have established that the Nigerian president personally employed them and have issued the warrant of arrest for them when they get back to SA.

If it is okay for Nigeria to screw up international laws it is not okay for them to use SA citizens to do so. The mercenaries faith is sealed unless they choose exile and Nigeria gives them citizenship. They are now international fugitives.

You have been reading too many Tom Clancy novels. Mercenaries, the "Dogs of War" have participated in virtually ALL armed conflicts that have occurred in Africa for the past half-century. While most of the Soldiers of Fortune are ex-military personnel, quite a number of thrill-seeking civilians do flock to war zones around the world, seeking to live out their boyhood dream of trading live fire with an enemy.

Now defunct organisations like Executive Outcomes and Sandline International once openly advertised the services of highly trained military personnel to join the fray for a fee, anywhere in the world, but particularly in West and Central Africa. and the involvement of such mercenary groups did have tangible and timely effects on the outcome of many an African brush war.

The term "Mercenary" is no longer as politically correct as it was the past few decades, so such guns-for-hire are referred to as "Military Advisers", "Security Consultants" and "Equipment Operation Training Personnel". With such implied legitimacy bestowed on them, the gentlemen once disparaged as mercenaries can retain their citizenship, dignity and freedom to travel worldwide without needing to be deceptive about their true identity. Have rifle, will travel.

Countries use mercenaries in war, playing politics with this shows that some people dont want the boko haram menance to be over.... Those set of people should be declared enemies of the state and rounded up for treason

Handsomeemmy:
Federal government bought New weapons and you don't expect the Nigerian soldiers to have mastered the weapons immediately it arrived.


Secondly, what evidence you have to proof that they are South Africans? For all I know they can be Tutors on weapon system seconded to Nigeria from the countries where the Weapons were purchased from.

You people look for every slight opportunity to embarrass the government and the military , Posterity will never forgive you guys.

The op forgot that we have American soldier training our military on new weapon technology and usage.

Must everything be politics to you people?

I am beginning to believe the person that said APC and her faithful do every morning when they wake up is to pray for tragedies in Nigeria so as to have another opportunity to score political point and embarrass the government.



Lastly...... Never again shall this Nation be held captive.

There is a multi-national joint task force fight Boko haram in the north east

Multi means many! Multi-national means many nation!

So the debate about the nationalities of the soldiers fighting alongside Nigerian soldiers in defence of the Nigerian people is a silly debate that can only come from enemies of progress!

It's is obvious by the anger and reaction of the SA government , that they did not sanction citizens to provide technical support and training to the Nigerian armed forces and those "mercenaries" have an arrest warrant awaiting them in SA presently. That put's Nigeria in a diplomatic disadvantage.

It is luring foreign nationals into it's military campaign without the consent of their nation, for peace of mind this guys should be relived of their job and sent back to SA with a diplomatic apology.

If you do not understand military acquisitions and contracts , I can explain it briefly to you, if the boys in armed forces were smart they would know that

- All acquisitions should include support and training stipulated for a period of time, Till there are enough Nigerians trainers who understand the technology and are competent enough to train further

- All training would be done at a rear-ward base and not on the front-line, why risk your knowledgeable asset

- Why escalate into a diplomatic fracas when these are the same nations we buy loads of military arsenal from, they'll simply turn around and not sell next time, we are also digging ourselves into a hole breaching the Geneva code and making other nations not want to sell.

Nigerian Armed Forces need to start planning, military acquisition and building the army for future capabilities not reacting to current requirements , do we have a program to replace our small arms - No

do we have a program for future multi-role fighter Jets - No

Do we have a project for personnel airlift - No

We don't even have a plan to develop our Tank or artillery to modern standards

WORST OF ALL - DICON IS STILL A MONEY PIT , those fuktards have not developed anything in the last while , we even import ammunition cartridges for our small arms

The thugs are going to be arrested as soon as they land BACK IN SA. Arrest warrant is out for them
