Well they have Egypt, Africa's military power and Sudan, a country that has ruthless military generals in charge of it to contend with over the Nile and the Dam that was constructed for it. There has been tensions since 2020 so the purchase of ballistic missile is not a waste.

If Egypt had to attack those dam walls, they would use their air force. Ethiopia has Cold War air defence relics, those things wouldn't even know which direction a Rafale went...... As for Sudan, they have their own domestic issues to worry about instead of starting foreign wars.

Not to mention that the dam levels are now such that Khartoum and Omdurman would be washed away, if the dam walls were blown up. And the same Sudan is salivating at the prospect of cheap electricity.

The dam is a fait accompli, Egypt has no choice but to negotiate a realistic water fair use agreement.
I suspect the saber-rattling is to dissuade other downstream countries from building their own dams.

Arrived in Mogadishu for a regional meeting of frontline states on efforts to stabilize Somalia and eradication of terrorism.

We must disrupt the financial infrastructures, weapons supply chains and sanction the enablers of terrorism in the Horn of Africa. Our collective effort in anti-terrorism proves that peace is within reach.

All Presidents of Countries bordering Somalia were present, i.e Dgibouti, Ethiopia Kenya.

Also agreed in the meeting is that leaders would jointly lobby for the UN to lift sanctions and arms embargo on Somalia.

Rheinmetall Denel Munition wins big new 155 mm ammunition orders


Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) has secured two new contracts for its 155 mm Assegai artillery ammunition, worth nearly €60 million or R1.1 billion.

Rheinmetall said in a press release that an international customer has ordered propellant charges worth around €40 million from RDM while another customer, a NATO state, has placed an order with Rheinmetall Denel Munition for 155 mm Assegai ammunition worth €17 million.

“We’re very pleased that two customers – including a NATO member state and a non-NATO country – have again placed their trust in our globally proven Assegai indirect fire technology”, said Jan-Patrick Helmsen, managing director of Rheinmetall Denel Munition. “As a systems maker, we work constantly to improve our cutting-edge technologies so that we can provide our customers’ soldiers with the very best, most reliable solutions possible.”

The latest contracts come on the back of an uptick in business, most likely due to the war in Ukraine. In December 2022, for example, RDM announced a NATO country order for 155 mm Assegai ammunition valued in the “mid three million digit Euro range”. The five year framework contract provides for delivery of 155 mm M2005 V-LAP (velocity enhanced long range artillery projectile) rounds, M92 modular charges and various fuzes.

Jointly owned by Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH (51%) and Denel, RDM produces a variety of ammunition ranging from 155 mm artillery ammunition to 60, 81, and 120 mm mortars, 40 mm grenades, 76/62 mm naval rounds, aircraft bombs and mine breaching systems. The RDM product range also includes ammunition filling plants for export and missile sub-system manufacture.

Rheinmetall emphasised that back in 2019, it succeeded in setting a new maximum range record in South Africa with the Assegai family and other Group products like the new Extended Range Charge from Rheinmetall’s subsidiary Nitrochemie AG. Thanks to the Assegai system approach – from fuse to projectile to propelling charges – long ranges were attained with various artillery systems. A non-NATO 155mm artillery gun with 52 calibre lengths and a 25-litre propelling charge chamber achieved a record range of 76 kilometres.

Rheinmetall Denel Munition is already working on other future artillery technologies, the company said. For example, the rocket motor in conventional 155 mm Assegai projectiles is being improved. In addition to this, a new development is on the way that will boost the maximum range to over 155 kilometres.

The Assegai family of artillery ammunition can be fired from any NATO STANAG-compatible artillery system, including the PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzer. Germany has supplied a number of PzH 2000s to Ukraine, which is using them against Russian forces, while Lithuania has supplied ammunition. The system is also in service with Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Lithuania, Hungary, Qatar, and Croatia.

This video has DSS agents crawling all over the place and shows him the lead detail organising the presidential candidates overall security with even more DSS agents pouring in with the arrival of the vice-presidential candidate all packing and exchanging side-arms. Apparently the protocol is to be handed lethal weapons on the threat and detail site, I would presume with armour piercing rounds. It's a no go area.

The camera captures from the first second the exchange of side-arms between DSS agents and in the end when more dignitaries arrived.

https://www.youtube.com/live/jqAsdYqB9yY?feature=share

If you watched properly, they just disembarked from an aircraft.

Side arms are usually emptied and stored on the flight deck for the duration onboard the aircraft in Nigeria.

Owner holds their ammunition.

Same applies to long guns, but they go into the cargo hold at the foot of the aircraft and are retrieved on the tarmac on arrival.

So I say one of them retrieved all their weapons from the cockpit and was reuniting guns with owners.


I know this as an ex protocol officer working for the FGN

When they set the 76km record, they said next target was 100km. Glad to see they're aiming higher with 155km!
