I will be providing content for this thread from now on, since the main guys have decided to abandon it. However, I'll not post only on African conflict zones, but other hotspots in ME and around the world, as well as their training sessions. Others with INTEL can drop too. This thread won't fizzle out.

Antagonism is allowed, unlike before

ISWAP launching projectiles into Maiduguri City

SamuelAnyawu:
ISWAP launching projectiles into Maiduguri City

yeah...

I watched a video a few days ago.

And a whole community was taken over by Bandits, cultists and criminals.

I am not talking of a small village, but a community town somehow in Imo state. There were 4 storey buildings it could easily be a LGA head quarters.

And these devilish criminals were actually cooking and eating people practising cannibalism. They had kidnapped traditional ruler's and had a a fleet of cars stolen from to thier victims.

It was gory and horrifying, but this it seemed had been going on for months on end the entire community was deserted and a complete ghost town.

Now I know the people will have reported this matter to the police. But these deranged criminald were allowed to thrive without response from the police for months on end.

How can this be HAPPENING

The governor actually came to the community in company of the Army ,DSS, Navy , Police, etc

It was reported the order was given to kidnap and kill the traditional ruler's by Nnamdi of IPOB. How true I really do not know.

But my concern is that has the SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE collapsed because that's what this is complete failure of government to provide security it's the hallmark of a failing state.

What's is GOING ON.❓❓❓

COMMANDER CORPS OF ARTILLERY TASKS GRADUANDS ON PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

The Commander Corps of Artillery Major General Tari-Timiye Gagariga has tasked fresh Graduands of the Nigerian Army Training Center to always maintain high professional standards in their conduct during operations. CCA gave the advice on Thursday 23 December, 2021 in Kontagora during the graduation ceremony of 288 officers and men of the Nigerian Army who had undergone training on Basic Camel MRAP and APC EQ Series Vehicle Course.

The Commander Corps of Artillery who was the Special Guest of Honour at the event was represented by the Chief of Staff, Headquarters Nigerian Army Corps of Artillery, Brigadier General Lebonsina Lebo, stated that the continuous emergence of the asymmetric threats which appears majorly in the form of terrorism and insurgency and being perpetrated by criminals across the country makes the Training more relevant at this time. Major General Gagariga therefore charged the outgoing trainees to do everything possible to sustain the knowledge acquired during the training.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Commander Nigerian Army Training Center, Major General Oluyinka Soyele explained that the training covered wide range of sensitive and strategic operations, saying that the exercise will go a long way in enhancing professional capacities and duties of the graduands when eventually deployed for operations.

The Commander thanked the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya for the support to the Center. Stressing that success in the conduct of the training would not have been possible without his support.

In his speech, the Chief of Training, (Army) Major General Abdulsalami Ibrahim, represented by Brigadier General Aminu Usman stated that the just concluded training of selected Nigerian Army personnel which is a collaborative partnership between Nigerian and Chinese Government, with Nigerian Army Training Center as host institution, is aimed at effective drive and maintainance of the newly acquired platforms.

Major General Abdulsalami Ibrahim explained that the newly procured Camel Mine Resistance Anti Ambush Protector (MRAP) and Armour Personnel Carriers Multi-Functional EQ Series were acquired to ehance better performance for the Troops against insurgence and other forms of security challenges in the country, charging the Troops not to relent until criminals under any guise are flushed out of the country.

He congratulated the graduands for the successful completion of the special training and urged them to be law abiding citizens with high sense of Professionalism and to conscientiously imbibe maintainance culture on the equipments.

The Chief of Training expressed his appreciation to the Commander Nigerian Army Training Center, Director Soldiers Professional Training Directorate, and all the instructors and supporting Staff of the Center, specially commending the Chinese partners for their wonderful contributions to the success of the Course.

In his vote of thanks, the Head of Foreign Partners Mr Tang Tian appreciated the Commander, students, the leadership of the Nigerian Army and Nigerian Government for given him and his company the opportunity to serve, saying that the collaboration will go a long way in fostering better relationships between Nigeria and China.

High point of the occasion was the colourful presentation of certificate and award to the only participating female soldier, while motorcycles were presented to instructors who distinguished themselves during the Training exercise.

With all the recent developments in the military, I pray there will be continuity with the coming of nmthe next government. 10-15 years of steady development of capacity and purchasing of equipment and there will be stability across the country. But it is important that the police force and other law enforcement agencies are not left out, else, all the efforts will amount to nothing.

As for the airforce, I hope that they can have near 24/7 over watch of the entire country with satellites and drones within the next few years. This will require massive investment in the airforce.
As for the navy, they've almost achieved their goal of coastal security, only a few more chokepoints to block off and they can control everything that enters and leaves the country. Then they can start focusing on being a true blue water navy.

The army still has a long way to go, there might be a need for change in structure, trainings, and doctrines. Massive procurement of modern land systems, from heavy and light tanks to AFVs, ATVs, IFVs, UGVs, artilleries and mortars, amphibious vehicles, more APCs and MRAPs, more logistic vehicles, mine clearing vehicles, mine laying vehicles, radars, air defense systems, long range missile capabilities, engineering equipments, communications equipment etc having the capacity to be able to project unequaled force anywhere within the country. Having quick reaction teams to respond to security threats within short periods of time in every state and so on.

The intelligence community should also look towards deepening intelligence gathering

Is there any reason why the Navy hasn’t built a very big base in Lake Chad Baga axis?

Having a tin box with a mounted HMG is not necessarily going to give you overriding superiority.

The basic weaponry on our armoured vehicles should be RWS with either a Grenade launcher and or HMG.

We need to up the game.

Our lack of forward thinking and strategic plans both regional and sub regional , is really a huge disadvantage.

Wagner group have moved into Mali and will unscrupulously uphold this bunch of not exactly popular military coup potters running the country.

This has implications for us. Our backyard is going to be a front for geopolitical positioning by the USA and NATO and China/ Russian on the other side.

A new cold war is looming and we have no plan .

You're right on this. With the right amount, some rogue personnel of these PMCs will deliver anti aircraft weaponry to the various rebels and jihadists within the Sahara.
Our intelligence community have their work cut out.

Also China is going to build a military base in Equatorial Guinea.

The truth is we have no significant military answer to the power play of the east and west looming in Africa. We can only strengthen our position once we maintain a powerful economy. Diplomacy is the only tool at our hands at the moment to take advantage of the growing interest in the West_African subregion.
