A difficult one! But South Africa Sudan comes to mind! grin grin grin grin Reason being that although they've been involved in prolonged secessionist fight with Sudan, they are a new nationstate with a weak military apparatus in terms of training, quantity and quality of personnel and hardware. Their weak economy is also a factor.

Do they even have a army. For the most part they still a rebel force with a country. They have not had time to transform yet.

My list

Maili and CAR. Both were unable to stand up to rebels in there country even with forghin training.

Lestho and swailand. It not nice but it the truth. Both have zero external threats though and are basicaly in SA. Both miltaries are more para milltary poliece and main role is internal sercurty not external.

FOMAC forces in CAR. Bloody cowards.

The island nastions. Though they not really at risk of invasion any time soon so it is not a big problem.

And AndrewZA made it here! grin grin I mentioned South Sudan with reasons ... and all you come here to ask is if they have an Army? What do you mean by they are still a rebel force with a country? When did it reside in your power to tell that South Sudanese Freedom Fighters -- the Sudan People Liberation Army (SPLA ) have not yet become the standing army of South Sudan? The link below is for your education:

http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article47534

Basically, you agree with my point by saying they have not had time to transform in terms of tactical training and qualitative/quantitative availability of personnel and hardware! That Malian and CAR armies fell partially to rebel armies does not mean that that they are the weakest. These armies you mentioned had clear lines of Command and organization. I am not sure what oreign training you are talking about with regard to CAR? The foreign trainers of CAR must have done a bad job! A very bad training job that could speaks poorly about the military competence of that foreign country! grin grin

I maintain it is ... South Sudan!

Yes South Sudan has not had the time. Give them a few years to get a proper orgnasniol structer set up.

CAR had ok training. But they were cowards. They broke lines and fled with out even putting up a fight.

Collectively they are all weak since most of their equipment is imported. Not self reliant.

How was your SANDF's strategy defined for the situation? Or you are accepting the fact that SANDF troops were not up scratch in CAR?

The stated goal was protecstion of the training team.

The strategy was to hold selkea on the main road in to banguie but when the CAR army ran away from the bridge they were defending the SANDF got out flanked.

They ran with out firing a shot.

That does not answer the question! No military in the world has not imported or procured weapons and hardware from another country! Do a quick Google search on weapons and hardware production in Nigeria and educate yourself better!

Very ignorant people like you, just sit down and type nonsense all the time. Why don't you ask questions, so that you silly brain can at least learn, before you go about spewing trash.

1)South africa has an advanced defence manufacturing sector. Number 16 in the world.
Egypt is in number 2
Algeria follows
Sudan in 4
Nigeria in 5
Ethiopia in 6
Morocco and tunisia complete the list.

If there was a war right now and America invaded Nigeria and we had to make our own weapons by black sub saharan Africans we would b screwed. We made our own during Biafra but not anymore.

NIGERIA!!!! The Nigerian Military is one of the weakest, dumbest, most criminally inclined, stupidest and most useless militaries in the world!! They get a lot of money and it just gets stolen by the commanders and chiefs. They have equipment that looks great, but the soldiers themselves are ineffective and bloody scared. In pictures they look all tough and stuff, but my little sister and cat can take on a whole platoon probably. They have a special forces unit, which are also USELESS!!! They're a joke. Why?? Two WoRDs: BOKO HAREM. They have not engaged them, nor have they found any of the kidnapped people or brought them to justice. Weak Weak and double triple WEAK!! Honestly, Nigeria is a stack of cards that can be blown down at anytime. grin grin grin
