I used to think Gaddafi was the last person who cared to meddle in other African country's business

Nonsense . Africans have always been and still are “meddling” to various degrees in each others businesses.

What is going on in Nigeria? @pokuasi

What's with this trend of young girls being packed in buses and distributed across Ghana?

You guys have one of the wildest mixtures of imagination and cope I’ve ever seen.😂

Everybody is sending a police unit

And then there is Nigeria sending a whole military special forces.

Unfair competition towards other competitors…??
or
Or the Nigerian police is just too plagued to be deemed worthy representatives…??

Those mental gymnastics you just displayed is Olympic Gold Metal worthy for sure.

TWO HOURS ATTACK!!!!
Are u kidding me
Does the Nigerian Army learn anything at all?
The same useless mistakes over and over again.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
If you can't protect or re-enforce an FOB; why open one in the 1st place??
Where is fire support, where is drone overwatch, HUMINT/SIGINT- intelligence and reconnaisance, where is QRF, Airforce tucanos and helicopters?
15 YEARS into an insurgency. Same elementary errors.
SMH... incompetence all round.
Now you've lost both men and equipment.

Toju200:
shut up e did you even get the full and true story
All Terrorists were killed with CAS

I knew news like this either real, exaggerated/sensationalized, or fake was bound to pop up. Things have been to quiet lately. I feel bad for the Nigerian military; soldiers can be on a roll for months obliterating Boko harem in the hundreds with no casualties and few care. But the second a base is attacked and a gallant soldier dies[RIP] the internet is flooded with how useless the Nigerian military is and how there getting “dominated” by BokoHarem who are going to overrun the nation soon.

Fight on Soldiers

Oh, you have burglary proofs on your windows now? I thought its a practice unique to Nigeria. Since when did you start that practice in SA?

Burglary proof windows are EVERYWHERE in the “developing world” even robust economies like China has them around even on some highrise buildings.

What do you guys think? Sound about right or nah?

Naija’s position sounds about right.

We ordered for the bell AH-1Z Vipers before the T-129 Atak and here we are receiving the last batch of the T-129 Atak and not one single unit of the AH-1Z viper has been delivered 🤦‍♂️

Maybe they where abandoned in Libya?🙃

Even his father never took such rank I just pray we don't witness another Syria in Chad

I’m sure he has a good reason.

QuietMynd:

Africa my Africa.
Nobody should rise to that rank.

But I thought CHAD was one of the most strongest countries in Africa. Politically & militarily far ahead of countries like Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon. At least that’s what people on the net float around.

This must be a high IQ power play. He must have did this for a good reason that’s flying over our low IQ heads?

😂🤣

Really bro!? Pageantry!! Stop trolling us.

Nwajagu Samuel is a Nigerian model and beauty pageant titleholder who was just crowned Mister International 2024. He became the first Nigerian, and the first African, to win the Mister International title in the competition's 16-year history.

Chidimma Adetshina of Nigeria was also the first runner-up in the 2024 Miss Universe pageant. Imagine if Naija won both in the same year; that would have been some stars aligning type of whahala!😂

Fidha254:
Jeez they can't even finish with one enemy first before starting another clan war. For a country that speaks one language, this is so sad.

Something wrong with Somalian Somalis mentality wise and culturally. The rest of Africa has tribe/ethnic, linguistic, and religious problems while they have multiple clan problems. Even diaspora Somalis have problems against other Africans; West Africans, Bantus, Nilotes, and Ethiopians.

This fool like the Dems in the US wants to make all refugees in Kenya citizens so that they can vote for him. We are talking about 1 million people! Let me repeat that the margin of defeat will be so MASSIVE that even the refugees wont help him.

Dude your really about to offer your face up to a leopard?😂

I know it will finally come to this level, countries like China, Russia, India can do without the USA but I doubt if even the thriving African nations can

Eh China can probably move along while Russia sputters on but India bent the knee awhile ago.

“India made it clear that it has no plans to end its reliance on the US dollar and will use the currency for trade and transactions, where it remains a necessary form of payment”.

Ethiopia turns APC into self-propelled artillery

Making best use of available equipment appears to be the thinking behind modifications turning Ethiopian Federal Defence Forces (FDF) armoured personnel carriers (APCs) into self-propelled artillery pieces.

Janes reports that some Chinese WZ551 APCs in service with the East African country’s military now carry 122 mm D-30 howitzers. An FDF photo released on 7 August shows the artillery pieces fitted to five vehicles, allowing operation by gunners standing in the troop compartment with a shield providing limited frontal protection.

It is unclear if the APCs have been fitted with adjustable stabilisers to prevent suspension damage by recoil, the publication reports.

Ethiopia is believed to have about 20 WZ551s in service and at least 450 D-30 guns as well as two dozen M-46 130 mm towed guns. It has apparently mounted D-30 guns on T-55 tank chassis in previous efforts to create self-propelled artillery, although this cannot be confirmed.

Recent photographs also appear to show a howitzer mounted on a military truck.

Ethiopia is apparently also working on a rapidly deployable 120 mm mortar as seen in a photograph released by the FDF in August. Fitted on the load bed of a pickup truck, it appears to be a standard 2B11-pattern mortar with base plate attached to a pneumatic system to lower it from the vehicle bed to the ground so it can be fired, Janes reported.

The FDF released the modified APC photograph during a visit by senior officers to the Ethiopian Defence University in Bishoftu, which it said is working on upgrading weapons.

Another photo showed 122 mm BM21 multiple rocket launcher systems fitted onto six Toyota Land Cruisers. The vehicles were fitted with four stabilisers to keep them steady when firing. Ethiopia previously acquired multiple truck-mounted BM21 systems.

Ethiopia has been acquiring significant quantities of military hardware in recent years, with the most recent documented arrival being dozens of Calidus MCAV-20 vehicles from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) last month.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s (SIPRI’s) Arms Transfers database, in recent years Ethiopia acquired five Despot armoured vehicles from Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2022, 32 SH-5 155 mm self-propelled guns from China in 2022, four Bayraktar TB-2 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from Turkey in 2021, and two Wing Loong-1 UAVs that same year.

China also delivered ten Type-89 APCs in 2013; four PHL-03 300 mm self-propelled multiple rocket launchers (MRLs) in 2019, and ten BP-12A surface-to-surface missile systems in 2020.

In January this year, the Ethiopian Air Force revealed it had received Bayraktar Akinci UAVs from Turkey and second hand Sukhoi Su-30K combat jets from Russia.

Is the civil war still going on at a low intensity?

How come no Ghanaian are aware of this "most educated Nigerian" At least Ghanaian high school teacher had once have an impact on young Nigerian lads. There was a time , Nigeria prefer Ghanaian teachers for their kids

You dodged my question like a coward so I’ll ask it again. How come these superior Ghanaian universities produce no individuals of major significance while inferior Nigerian universities produce individuals that go on to create or work for the continents leading projects, companies, industries, and social class?

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Seconded.
Kudos to South Africa.

Unless they have a secret weapon/strategy to end the war come soon they might be up sh1t creek. Donald is appointing radically pro-Israel officials to that region who see Palestinians as dirty terrorist or just don’t acknowledge there existence and has already told Israel in the past to “finish the job”.

Will see though; but the odds are even less in there favor than ever.
