Africa is not a country. It's silly to believe that a continent of over 50 states could be disgraced by the actions of one state.

NaijaPikinGidi:

You remain a fool so far! Scrambling about to make sense of your stupidity? I asked a simple question: explain what a satellite gateway is; thereafter please tell us where it is sited or located in your South Africa? I know where I am taking you and your stupidity to!

I am happy that you are now forced to seek help from Google. I will take you on shortly on those NIGCOMSAT KU Band diagrams when you eventually answer my questions.

I hope this is the last time i will engage in this argument. I have done all I could to prove to you that one of your satellite servers are located in SA.

Satellite gateways are ground stations from which satellites access their network. Without SA gateway, Nigcomsat-1R will be partially out of order.

South Africa has two Satellite servers, one in Gauteng and the other in Northern Cape.

Unfortunately, this is what you get when you have a UN mandate which does not allow the blue berets to engage in Peace enforcement, they can only fire when fired upon..... I don't understand why we need to pamper war lords, infact they must be categorised as terrorists and hunted as dogs. An individual takes arms against the state and the UÑ thinks negotiations is the best approach, why won't it fuel this copy-cat approach in other countries. I am yet to see any government appealing and negotiating with armed- robbers.

individuals take arms against a state for a variety of reasons. some r justified, some not. so, UN cannot treat every freedom fighter as a terrorist. d crisis in south Sudan is as a result if d president sacking his deputy who happens to come from a rival tribe.

I am not sure you will make a comment like that if you knew how the UN works... What is the freedom in taking up arms against a democratically elected government executing its constitutional mandate?
Imagine the chaos and calamity democratic countries like Ghana will descend to because of a democratic practice like a cabinet reshuffle. Its the President's prerogative to appoint and disappoint anybody in his administration in every civilised society, and if this is rocket science for some countries then it really tells how primitive and backward those countries are. I now understand why the Afrikaans were apprehensive granting freedom to "South Africans".

If the South Sudan issue is not a failure that reflects poorly on Africa ... then explain why there is a UN mission in the DRC and why the AU has remained in consultations over this and other similar issues across Africa?

Who ever said Africa was a country? And if the conflicts in any country on the continent cannot affect us all, why is the UN and African union sending troops to mediate and end them before it escalates.

Why is SA in DRC? Why did SA intervene in Lesotho?

Dumb animal. So it is not enough disgrace that most African countries are unable to be governed? Do you know what that translates you dumb animal.

Well you are a white boy with no identity. So your comment is excused.

lol @ cameroon.
Their entire defence budget is less than that of the Nigerian police.
They're not a problem at all.
Their entire military apparatus can be neutralized in 72 hours.
Unfortunately,France is what makes invading cameroon a complicated issue.
We'll need to begin aggressive military procurement policy for the airforce which is currently absent, to ensure significant deterrence against french rafales.

South Africa is otherwise occupied. Unlike Naai-geria that's currently stuck at home - on a senseless mission.

SA choppers sent in to help retake DRC town
2013-12-25 22:01
Displaced in DRC

Kinshasa - A special UN force in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo used helicopters on Wednesday to fire on Ugandan rebels and help government troops retake the town of Kamango after an attack that killed civilians.

"South African helicopters in the UN intervention force were asked by FARDC (the DR Congo army) to give them support to recapture Kamango," said a senior officer with the UN mission to DR Congo (Monusco), who declined to be identified by name.

"We have already taken back Kamango," said Lieutenant Colonel Olivier Amuli, a FARDC army spokesperson in North-Kivu province, the mineral-rich but volatile region plagued by a number of armed groups.

Amuli admitted that at the time of the attack on Kamango the Congolese forces "withdrew because they were outnumbered".

The rebel attack took place before dawn, said Teddy Kataliko, head of the civil society in the Beni region where Kamango is located.

Neither Kataliko nor the Monusco officer could confirm to AFP the retaking of the town.

The civil organisation blamed the initial attack on the Islamist Ugandan rebel group ADF-Nalu in collaboration with Uganda's army. It is one of the oldest but least-known armed groups based in eastern DR Congo.

"We have 10 people kidnapped, 11 civilians and five soldiers wounded, and several civilians killed, as well as homes burned, by the attackers," Kataliko earlier told AFP.

Fear massacre

He also said the attackers were "now heading towards the town of Nobili", on the Congolese-Ugandan border, where more than 150 000 people have taken refuge from the fighting.

"We believe there is the risk of a massacre and that's why we are asking to establish a humanitarian corridor," he said, making an appeal to the government to come to the aid of those people.

Kataliko said that those fleeing the fighting would not be able to cross the border into Uganda, which was closed.

ADF-Nalu stands for Allied Democratic Forces-National Army for the Liberation of Uganda and is considered the only Islamist organisation in the region.

In July the Congolese army battled the ADF-Nalu rebels to take control of the Kamango region, but the fighting had sent tens of thousands of people fleeing for safety in neighbouring Uganda.

Monusco reported that at least 21 people were killed last week with "extreme brutality" in the Beni region. The UN did not identify the assailants, but again local civil groups pointed to the Ugandan rebels.

Radicals

The rebels are led by Jamil Mukulu, a Christian convert to Islam, and has never really managed to take its fight against President Yoweri Museveni's regime to Uganda.

Some observers have voiced concern that ADF-Nalu could become a link in the growing network of radical Islamist groups in East Africa.

Monusco's mission in DR Congo is made up of around 3 000 troops from South Africa, Tanzania and Malawi. Its peacekeepers have been specially authorised to go after armed groups ravaging DR Congo.

The mission helped bring down the M23 rebel movement last month, which was suspected of receiving support from Rwanda and Uganda, something both countries deny.

You are only in DRC cat-fighting from the backrows where you were led by the Tanzanians just after scampering away from the offensive of the SELEKA of CAR.

Whereas Nigeria has fighting forces in Sudan, Mali, and in the far flung northeast of Nigeria bordering Cameroun, Niger and Chad where peace and order are significantly entrenched. Just a direct response to wish you what you wish yourself this season! CrazePig as usual!

Don't mind the pig. SA will only fight behind the scenes under UN sponsored operation. They continue to show lack of responsibility when it comes to peacekeeping and enforcement as they scramble for the rank of continental power.

Or is it that their military and political leadership are not up to it?

Just remembering CAR makes me shake my head.

I won't even bother too much about Chris, the angry Naai-gerian who thinks through the small of his brain.

And when did the raging conflict in Naai-geria today ever shame South Africa, or Namibia or Mauritius or Lesotho?

On what grounds should a person from Botswana be ashamed that Naai-gerians are slaughtering each other like pigs today?

No amount of anger will help you pluck non-existent intelligence from a tree. Stüpid is as stûpid does

Nigeria: We Lost 15 Soldiers to Boko Haram Attack - Defence Hqtrs

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/12/villages-destroyed-civilians-killed-troupe-chase-islamists-witnesses/

The unprofessional, ill-disciplined military of Naai-geria destroys villages in its revenge-fueled pursuit of the attackers of their barracks and kidnappers of the soldiers' wives and children.

Refusing to learn that revenge is better than cure, now the soldiers vent their anger and frustration on defenceless civilians.

Rubbish military, this.

Villages destroyed, civilians killed as troops chase Islamists – Witnesses


KANO (AFP) – A military offensive in northeast Nigeria that killed more than 50 Islamist rebels [allegedly] has destroyed four villages and left corpses scattered in bushes, with some civilians among the dead, witnesses said Tuesday.

The defence ministry has said the operation was launched in response to an attack Friday by Boko Haram insurgents on an army barracks in the town of Bama in Borno state, the epicentre of the Islamist conflict.

Defence spokesman Chris Olukolade identified those killed as “terrorists.”

Residents told AFP that an unknown number of civilians also lost their lives as the military bombarded the fleeing rebels. While they reported finding scores of charred bodies in the area, many were thought to be those of Boko Haram fighters.

Area resident Karim Bunu told AFP the military onslaught “completely burnt down four villages,” specifically listing Awaram, Ali-Ali, Suwabara and Kashimri, all in Borno state.

“Civilians from the affected villages,” were among those killed, he said.

“We have never seen so much death,” added a tribal chief in the area, who asked that his name be withheld. “The bushes are littered with decomposing bodies.”

Bunu, the local chief and other residents said much of the destruction was caused by bombs dropped by fighter jets. Locals are collecting bodies and digging graves for those killed, residents added.

In a Monday statement on the operation, Olukolade said that “a good number of the insurgents escaped with bullet wounds while some have been arrested. Over 50 of them died in the course of exchange of fire with ground troops.”

Fifteen soldiers were killed during the Boko Haram raid on the barracks and “during the pursuit” of the insurgents, according to Olukolade.

The defence spokesman gave no indication that the military response caused large-scale property destruction or cost civilian lives.

Nigeria’s military has been accused of using scorched-earth tactics in campaigns against Boko Haram and not distinguishing between civilian and insurgent targets. Such accusations have however been typically denied.

Naai-gerians are busy pointing fingers at South Sudan, as if they aren't part of the problem themselves.

The irony!

I'd find it extremely funny if it weren't so sad. How ridiculous are the Naai-gerians!

Pope prays for civilians killed in Nigeria, Syria, South Sudan

http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/lead-stories/item/29460-pope-prays-for-civilians-killed-in-nigeria,-syria,-south-sudan.html


Christmas Day message to pray for peace in troubled regions of the world, specifically asking God to have mercy on civilians killed in Nigeria.

The 77-year-old pontiff, elected to replace the retired Pope Benedict in March, who spoke on Wednesday to an estimated 150,000 Catholics from the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City, also called for social harmony in South Sudan, where thousands were reportedly killed in recent ethnic violence.
In his first “Urbi et Orbi” (to the city and world) message, delivered to tens of thousands of faithful in St Peter’s Square, he also urged an end to the ongoing conflicts in Iraq, Syria, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He prayed that Israelis and Palestinians find peace together in the land where they have chosen to come into the world.

I told you that telecommunications is something else. There is a huge diffence between communications and telecomms. Communication is very broad and telecomms is just only a branch of study under the greater communication as an umbrella.We are using cables for telecomms which runs from the earth and under the sea. No wonder their network can just be turned on and off from one area to another. Unfortunately, up to so far we have never had any telecomms which deals specifically with satellite cellphones other than the one we normally know. Now recently many companies which provides satellite internet other than that of a broadband were established and are currently doing business in SA.

SA can't even engage in more that one operation as all you say is they are in DR.
