One hell of a deal for UAE

Yes, that's how African countries should be doing these deals.

Local production. Customization will naturally follow.

On the good side Denel gets R & D to further develop their systems like the Al Tariq deal.

why den do we still import APC & LAV

Let me answer the question without going Political.
The reason being in order to manufacture APC and LAVs in Country, the F.G has to set money aside specifically to develop an APC Assembly line.This has just been captured/done in the 2017Budget.
Secondly the Military specifically the Army has to come up with a specific prototype (s) as to what kind of APC /LAV they want built.
Heavy speculation will fall on DICON, INNOSON (because they already have a relationship with the Army) and an ASSEMBLY line..
Not to be left out will be Street Group who recently delivered 177units

I'm telling you human beings would always find an excuse to do evil, either religion, ethnicity, race... you can imagine the kind of soft targets they picked out for this. So an individual in their right mind walks into a jamboree, drops a grenade and kills 5 random innocent people, how has that individual furthered their struggle?

The boy definitely is not acting alone. I am sure DSS is pretty aware of that.

We make some good quality APCs with the potential to build more. We shouldn't be importing APC, ok, wheeled APCs.

This should be the norm. It is sad really.

Definitely not, if this was a lone wolf thing DSS would be lucky to find maybe a machete and a hand gun at best.

Unless you're in the United States no lone wolf attacker can have access to “Eight ( AK-47 rifles, Twenty (20) fully loaded AK-A7 magazines, Twenty-seven (27) hand grenades, Seven hundred and ninety-three (793) rounds of live ammunition."

Congo-Kinshasa: Crisis in DR Congo Worsens As Death Toll Rises and Refugees Flee

he UN estimates that more than 3,300 have been killed, and 1.3 million forced to flee violence since last August. Meanwhile, neighboring Angola has expelled 8,000 Congolese refugees seeking an escape from the violence.

A special adviser to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the Congolese government to reduce its military presence in the violence-plagued Kasai region because of an explosion of deadly violence over the past several months.

More than 3,300 people have been killed in an eight-month spiral of violence in the region. The UN Human Rights Council voted Friday to send a team of experts to investigate reports of gross human rights violations, including beheadings.

"It's vital to reduce the militarization of the government's response and to prioritize dialogue between all parties in the conflict," Adama Dieng, UN special adviser on the prevention of genocide told reporters in Kinshasa.

"There is no genocide in the Kasai," Dieng said. "There is violence that needs to stop as quickly as possible."

Violence erupted in the region after a local tribal leader, who was rebelling against the authority of President Joseph Kabila, was killed during clashes with security forces in August 2016.

The death of the local chief, known as Kamwina Nsapu, sparked a wave of unrest that has forced 1.3 million people from their homes, according to the UN.

Dieng called on Congolese officials to "significantly increase efforts" to identify and punish those guilty of committing human rights violations.

Refugees expelled from Angola

Meanwhile, neighboring Angola has expelled more than 8,000 Congolese who entered the southern African country while fleeing deadly violence at home, the UN said in a new report.

It said more than 30,000 Congolese have fled to Angola since violence erupted in central Kasai last summer.

The report also estimated that militias have used about 500 girls and boys as fighters or "human shields."

Aid access to the region has been limited by the violence, according to the UN.

Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano announced Saturday that Italy will contribute 300,000 euros ($335,000) to UN efforts to "respond to the dramatic humanitarian emergency" in central Kasai to help Congolese refugees in Angola, the Italian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Alfano said the money would go towards health care, food security, education and "promoting the reliance of the vulnerable refugee populations."

The minister said the aid aims to "ease the burden that weighs on the Angolan government in assuring assistance and protection to the refugee population."

The UN said its overall emergency aid appeal of $64 million for the Kasai crisis "remains poorly funded."
