This global ranking for african mililitary.

The GFP ranking makes use of over 40 factors to determine each nation's Power Index ("PwrIndx" score. From this score, the finalized ranking is generated. The factors are set within our algorithm which attempts to provide a fair canvas that allows smaller, yet technologically-advanced powers to compete with larger, lesser-developed ones. Additionally, various bonuses and penalties are added for final refinement. In the end, we hope it presents an unbiased ranking and realistic outlook on the conventional military firepower and strength of a given country for a given year. At the very least, this list can be used to stir healthy debate amongst visitors to GFP.
There are a total of (30) countries of Africa represented in the GFP database .

Wait, but some Kenyans here claimed one Kenya??

Tribalism is rife in Kenya, and it would get dangerously worse in the run- up to the presidential electons, like now.

The reason for the violence that erupted after the 2007 elections which left 1300 dead. The worst violence in our history.

And according go the GFP ranking.

Egypt.

Algeria.

Ethiopia.

Nigeria
.

South africa.

Angola.

Morocco.

Sudan.

Libya.

DRC.

All african nation are riddled with corruption, it is not only limited to nigeria.

Nigeria, south africa, egypt, ethiopia, algeria are the africa big 5.

Any africa coalition trying to conquer africa without any of this 5 included is doom to fail.

"Egypt , Nigeria and South Africa are generally regarded as the major regional powers in the African continent."

Nigeria & South Africa are also the only countries in Africa regarded as emerging world powers.

Ethiopian soilders are generally better than Nigeria but not the best foot soilders in Africa. Nigeria ranked 4th in Africa has the best foot soilders. Economy and conscription also come in handy with such wars, Nigeria, southafrica and Egypt are rich enough to buy more sophisticated weapons.

So, which country has the best foot soldiers then?

I said chose 3 OGA I knew that was the big five which is why I reduced it to three to make it harder

Demography is destiny, goes the saying, which if true makes Africa an even hotter prospect. In 2011 the United Nations published its revised estimates for the world's population in 2100. Asia will be home to 60 percent of the world's population, as it is today. But Africa will swell. Between 1975 and 2000, it grew from 416 to 811 million. By 2025, it will reach 1.4 billion and by 2100 a remarkable 2.2 billion.
Overall, the African countries lurk near the bottom of our 180-country growth environment scores [a.k.a. GES , Goldman's measure of a country's long-term growth potential] and need to make a lot more progress across the board if they are to achieve their economic potential. Nigeria, though, has shown what can be done.
Nigeria is critical to Africa with around 20 percent of the continent's population. By 2100, Nigeria's population could well be bigger than that of the United States. It has a group of politicians who seem determined to weed out the terrible corruption that has restricted its growth for so long. And, while its GES is the third lowest of the N-11 group* it has nearly doubled in the last thirteen years. A repeat of this over the next thirteen would have Nigeria well in its way to delivering its potential.
In this it will be aided by the technological leaps that are now possible. All over Africa, mobile wireless technology is enabling the rapid development of basic services like education and banking. If this continues and expands, countries like Nigeria may be able to grow at an unprecedented rate, skipping once necessary stages of development. This could be a very positive story in the years to come, and is yet another reminder that the world is about far more than stumbling growth in the United States and Western Europe.
Even small improvements in the growth environment can have an enormous impact on a country's growth trajectory, and we estimated that Nigeria's efforts had helped lift its growth rate by 2 percent. If it could raise its GES to best- in- class levels, it could raise this growth rate by another 4 percent, a massive premium. Of course, there are many variables at work here, but the important point is that the rise of Africa's middle class, when coupled with greater transparency and openness, and an improved environment for economic growth, could lead to one of the great economic stories in the coming years.
THE RISE OF EGYPT
In Egypt, what appeared to start as a "copycat" protest following unrest in Tunisia quickly turned into an uprising of the Egyptian people to reject decades of imposed governance and seemingly demanding a life of more opportunity, hope and perhaps democracy.
Quite where the nation will go is extremely unpredictable. Here is the Arab world's most populous country having a revolt, if not a revolution. No sign of American flags being burned or anti- Western protest. On the contrary, lots of the most common signs from the protests are that Egyptian people, now having access to the Internet and mobile phones, have suddenly seen what so many others have, and they want it for themselves. They are also agitated by high food prices, lack of employment, crumbling infrastructure and an overbureaucratic state. It was the Internet and mobile phones--social media--that gave them quick access to what was happening in Tunisia, to network and galvanize quickly around a common cause or to find common cause through online discussions.
When the uprising occurred in Egypt in January 2011, I looked immediately to its growth environment. Egypt is an N- 11 country, a nation of 80 million people. Its economy is only around $200 billion, so it is not one of the larger or wealthier N-11 nations. It has vast potential and what happens here is likely to be instrumental for much of North Africa and the Middle East. Egypt's GES ranked it eighth out of the N- 11, just above Nigeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Over the previous decade, it had scarcely improved. Its macro scores, such as government debt and its fiscal position, were poor, as were micro scores such as use of technology and political stability. Watching the protestors on television, it was not hard to understand their frustration at years of economic stagnation.
In Egypt, for example, the growth environment scores have been so low for so long that it did not surprise me when the people eventually said enough and demanded new leadership. The spread of technology means they can easily see what has happened in China over the last few years-- the quadrupling of wealth-- and demand it for themselves. I tend to see most political and economic events through these scores. If a new regime can deliver more accountability of leadership and more opportunity for its people, then this could be an extremely positive development. Not just for Egypt, but for the whole region.
*The "Next 11": Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam.

South Africa has advance military equipments and their economy is decent, but they don't have great wexperience and aren't fearless like the big boys. But it's a subjective matter and you could be right.

By the way, I had visited Ethiopia Air Force few years ago and I even entered in one of M-29 Jet and even in a Tank. It was a great experience.

That's so cool! I want to visit an airforce base. I wanted to be an airforce pilot for the longest time.
True SA doesn't have much experience in war (I can't think of any) but they are heavy with peace keeping as well, though this is declining.
Ethiopia definitely has the most experience and knows its capabilities.

new data ..By the year 2100, Africa will contribute 82% of total growth: 3.2 billion of the overall increase of 3.8 billion people. Under some projections, Nigeria will add more people to the world’s population by 2050 than any other country.

USA, Russia and maybe France/ Britain








But dis time they won't be abe to conquer us, before they do, we wud have killed plenty of Dem. We hv some idiots from Borno nd Yobe who want to die and those from Somalia who love attacking like NMS.

Yeah my three for this year 2017 is Egypt, Algeria, Ethiopia, with Nigeria following closely behind, if it were in the time of Abacha even Egypt would have a tough time.
Nigeria can also buy the best weapons if they choose to, and conscription would hardly be a problem, even with the North and middle belt alone. So many factors can be considered.
South Africa should not be underated as well, they are the closest to having a Nuclear weapon in Africa to the disgust of Mandela. They still have the technology and can produce it if they want to.

You just hurt a lot of Eritreans feelings. I didn't realized fights were happening ecen in the 2000s. Why did it end?
Lol why does Eritrea's infrastructure look so decent or did the Italians build everything?

I don't care if those savages feeling is heart.

Sorry for my mistake, the war happened from 1998-2000, not from 2000-2002. In 1998, they started their invasion of northern Ethiopia(Tigray region to be specific). After a few months, the tie of the war turned for us and they were driven from Ethiopia soil and our soldiers started to advance to Asmara, Eritrea capital. Just when our soldiers about to capture Asmara, Eritrea accepted a peace deal and stopped us from capturing Asmara.

More than 300 thousands people died from both sides. My father was actually commanded an army during the war as a General. I know a person who participated in the war as a soldier and he told me everything he saw on the battle ground was decapitated head, arms, legs and other parts of body.

My 3 will be, Nigeria, South africa, Algeria.

And the reason will be.

Nigeria; it has the largest manpower, it has oil, it is the largest economy, it is a "groundbase" for gainig "allies", it has experienced soldiers, it has money.

South africa; it defence industry will help when the sanctions hit, it has technology, it has money, it is influential(member of the g20 BRICS).

Algeria; They have a very powerful and experienced military with an economy to accommodate it.

The reason why I choose algeria over egypt is simply because algeria is less likely to fall to Western pressure than egypt.
