The ladies are looking good there.

Is military school for kids who want to be soldiers?

I don't think they are allowed to sign up at that age (?)

Please post some more stuff from Ivory Coast @Sybellah, when you find it. Even if it's just news about what you guys are busy doing...

andrewza:

And only 14 South Africans died. Where over 500 rebels where killed

I think the casualty rate was downplayed by the SA govt.. A reporter counted more than 50 bags being loaded on a plane.. Just to save face

Dude - it's fine, really. Ok - the casualty rate was downplayed. We admit, if that helps. We lied. More than 100 South African soldiers were killed.

Do you have any interesting videos, news clipping, or anything informative to post?

The thread is dying.

@Agaugust - cool.

Tell me. You do a lot of research, you say. The Nigeria vs SA thing has been beaten to death. Anything interesting about other African countries? Latest military trends? Anything?

Biggest changes in military spending 2010-2011.

Zimbabwe

Africa's place under the sun.

Coup attempts in Africa, between 1990 and 2012.

yea it is, they get trained and later decide if they want to continue or quit (after 18)

nice initiative, but I don't get, is it mandatory or parents are free to register their children, also how is the attendance? Do people really like it and attend such schools? Because I know children don't like strict rules

Your pictures are cooler than most. That's some serious damage there! Do you know who did the nasty damage on these vehicles? (the damaged ones)

it's not mandatory, people r free to send their kids there or not,
it's a very good school as well, very competitive, not everybody can get in, before grade 7, the kids have to pass an exam and get outstanding marks in order to be in, they also have to maintain a certain average in order not to be kicked out...their main areas of studying Chemistry, physics, Mathematics, IT, mechanical, electrical engineering mainly to become military engineers.

How South Africa's reduced its military budget, over the years (Percentage of GDP figures).

all4naija: They finally derail this thread to the happiness of some South Africans. It is Okay. But, the topic is about who has the strongest military in Africa, which, Nigeria is. Being the giant of Africa is not for a joke that is to our military capacity to combat.

Go Nigerian military! You are truly the strongest for a very long time to come.

We didn't derail it. We just want to discuss other nations, too. It's fine, if that's where you want to conclude things. No problem with your conclusion. Enough time and pages have been spent on South Africa and Nigeria comparisons.

It's become boring.

pleep: TIA - This Is Africa

Hehehe - But I think it's great that military discipline is instilled in kids, provided they don't have to be soldiers. Wonder how Ivory coast ranks.
