I'm sorry you've had to be reduced to this. Maybe next time you'll think before you advance an argument.

A revealing, lame joke that belies your resignation to the fact that this is not a military-led operation. It only serves to make you look silly and defeated.

drag_on: once again,your millitary is involved and failed patheticaly. I am surprised you have not seen the parallels.
Involved as a side-resource and leading are two different things. You have full autonomy, leadership and strategic room to play. You've failed.

rka1: By the same token, America and NATO failed in Afghanistan and Iraq and all other countries have failed around the world.
Now you compare yourselves to militaries that were fighting hundreds of miles from home.

You have the advantage of sovereignty, a state of emergency, the full support of the tax payer and are uninhibited by strict laws in the affected states. Yet, you continue to fail.

You're projecting your own state of mind. From a spirited argument to a sorry one-liner. How the "mighty" have fallen. Facts do that. They deflate lunatic pride.

Once again, take that up with our minister of environmental affairs. Not our military. Wrong hole. Wrong tree to bark up. Face up to your failures and be happy.

rka1: Just to show what a BH sympathiser you are. Nobody cares what you think, you quote tongue
As if I worry about what you call me. BH is born of Naai-geria. So, these are your own brothers. Cry me a river.

Now that your arguments have fallen by the wayside, you lash out in "my-wits-end-here" frustration.

You cared enough to argue to the point of abandoning your arguments in dead-end-valley.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 5:46pm On Nov 01, 2013
drag_on: Thats my point @ swanky@vodamail,hundreds of boko haram islamists have been killed/captured,but because they dont care about their lives they keep coming. Containing insurgents dressed as civilians in an assymetrical war in an area as massive as North east Nigeria is no mean feat.
You have a state of emergency. The state of emergency has an objective. It can't last forever. The objective hasn't been met. It goes without saying that some BH members will be killed and captured. But that won't allow you to lift the state of emergency, will it? You have failed and continue to fail everyday.

drag_on: Cry all you like,your military cant beat back poachers,instead the poachers out smart them.If you cant deal with poachers do you really think you have a prayer against an islamic insurgency?
Our military does not lead the anti-poaching effort. You tried to argue against the simple fact and you clearly have given up. You now want you try another angle. Be my guest. The point will continue to stand in your way and will frustrate your attempts at diversion.

You lead in Naai-geria and have failed yourselves, your people and all of africa.

Our military is being led in South Africa. Take your complaint up with the leader - the minister of environmental affairs - and be happy.

I repeat: the anti-poaching programme is not owned by the military. The Programme is owned by the ministry of environmental affairs. The ministry determines who does what.

Being "involved" as a resource is one thing. "Leading" the Programme is quite another. Your military leads the anti-boko haram Programme, has a state of emergency to back it up and has full autonomy.

You have failed to make your case because you overlooked a crucial distinguishing factor.

You're wasting your time. The anti-poaching programme is not owned by the military. You're barking up the wrong tree.

And poaching is not an insurgency anyway. It's illicit trade and a crime.

You attempts at diversion fail. You have a state of emergency and have the right to limit citizens' basic rights. You have deployed your military in full and have military autonomy in the affected states. Yet, you fail. undecided

agaugust: i have a BSc degree in Accounting, with experience in a world class Audit firm.
Ja right.

You're a jack-of-all-trades and you're 32. Pull the other one. Red yellow showed us that you are 40+ year-old dreamer stuck in Abuja and Lagos. But he didn't tell us anything we didn't already know. You arguments alone show us you aren't half what you dream you are. Just give us arguments and content; and leave your "qualifications" out of it. That won't make your arguments any stronger.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 4:27pm On Nov 01, 2013
agaugust: you are a white-man with less education than a black man...it hurts your over-bloated ego.

BSc Accounting in nigeria, we all study Government sector accounting for at least one year, 300 level or 400 level.

nigerian education is better than south africa's , your 33% brains are almost empty....like a coconut shell shocked

.
You don't know what my education level is. That argument alone exposes your delusions.

But seeing as you asked, I'm a qualified attorney with an LLM and an MBA. I work and live in the US where I'm on temporary assignment.

All your rubbish is immediately apparent to me. You've been in Austin to see the military headquarters but that's about it. You don't live here and your arguments prove it. I live in Texas and you can't tell me anything and you can't lie it me about "working for a military research company" here. That's rubbish.

You wish you were educated but unfortunately, you aren't.

Accounting is not finance. You made a finance argument and called it accounting. You claim to have an MBA, yet you don't know the difference between finance and accounting.

As for your claims to American citizenship - argument for another day.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by CraigB: 4:21pm On Nov 01, 2013
drag_on: You have not contained poachers yet.!!
Take that up with our department of environmental affairs. They lead the effort and determine who does what.

Your military has a full state of emergency (therefore, autonomy) and resources to back it up.

Weak argument re: poachers.

come on augugust please stop peddling lies on these tread its official as of August your had 46 billion dollars and South Africa had 53 billion dollars go to your Newspaper THISDAY and read it yourself
Well, the biggest lie is that he "studied government sector accounting".

He says he studied accounting and then he proceeds to make a "public finance" argument. You know you're dealing with an uneducated dreamer when psychology and psychiatry are suddenly the same thing.

Nigerian army launches air, land strikes on Boko Haram camps ail Xinhua, October 31, 2013 视频播放位置下载安装Flash播放器
The Nigerian army on Wednesday said it has commenced air and land strikes on Boko Haram camps in northeast remote villages along the Maiduguri-Damaturu highway.

Spokesman of the Army 7 Division in Borno State, Lt Col Mohammed Dole, told reporters that unlike before, the army division would now strike on Boko Haram camps so as to destabilize the insurgents from planning or executing any attack again.

"There is an on going operation around Benisheik, Kaga Local Government. Troops of the 7 Division supported by the Nigerian Air force, attacked and destroyed Boko Haram camps at Goho village in Mainok general area. Several terrorists were killed while others fled to another camps in Marguba, same Mainok area but the troops pursued them to the camp at Marguba which was also destroyed," he added.

The exact number of the insurgents that were killed in the offensive was not ready since the operation is still going, the spokesman said, promising to avail journalists with details of the operation as soon as it is completed.

"Several of them were killed while others also fled. Terrorists who escaped from the Marguba camp following troops strike on their camp, crossed the Maiduguri-Damaturu road at Benisheik heading north toward Gubio (North of Borno). Troops from 7 Division are still pursuing the terrorists. The operation is still going on," he said.

He appealed to residents not to panic especially with the movement of the fleeing insurgents toward the northern part of the state, saying troops in the area have been alerted about the development.

He also said the troops from the division were already pursuing the fleeing Boko Haram men.

Last Friday, the Nigerian military announced the killing of 95 Boko Haram fighters in Yobe and Borno States in operations against the insurgents, who were alleged to attempt coordinated attacks.

The Boko Haram sect has proved the biggest security threat in the West African country since launching the insurgency in 2009. Endi
The "killing of boko haram" fighters has been announced since the early days of the state of emergency. That tired "story" doesn't wash anymore - assuming it ever did. We all know nothing announced can be independently verified anyway. shocked

Even your announcement of Shekau's "death" has failed to prove your military competent.

Fact is you're stuck in the abyss that's an internal insurgency. A small-scale war of sorts and you can't even dream of being useful in Africa at this point.

When the thread started, your claim to glory was your "usefulness" in other African countries. Well, let's hear you try that again - after you get over the minor issue of abandoned missions in Mali and Darfur. And the minor issue of insurgents that have no fear of your military inside its own sovereign land. cry

SA, DRC sign Grand Inga project treaty

30 October 2013
South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Tuesday signed a crucial treaty on the Grand Inga hydropower project, which could eventually become the largest hydroelectric project in the world, with the potential to power half of the continent.

President Jacob Zuma made the announcement earlier on Tuesday while addressing the Parliament of the DRC, where is arrived, accompanied by a strong ministerial and business delegation, for a two-day state visit on Tuesday.
Zuma said that the signing treaty was a major step towards the realisation of the long-cherished dream of the people of the DRC.
"I must convey how particularly pleased and excited I am by the progress taking place towards the realisation of the Grand Inga Hydropower Project. This incredible feat of human ingenuity, when completed, will have the capacity to power Africa and indeed to export electricity beyond the continent."
The Grand Inga project will seek to harness the power potential of the Congo River, sub-Saharan Africa's greatest waterway.
"South Africa is extremely proud to be working so closely with the DRC in realising this accomplishment," Zuma said. "This represents one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken on the African continent, and one which will long be a resounding symbol of the rise of Africa and her people."

SA 'ready to share experience with DRC'

Zuma said South Africa stood ready to share its experiences and expertise in helping the DRC to further strengthen and deepen their democracy as well as to further entrench their impressive commitment to human rights.
"We look forward to extending and deepening the close relations between our two great nations. We can do this across the many areas of shared interest, and in pursuit of a better future for our two great nations and peoples.
"In the spirit of ubuntu, which means 'I am because we are', and which is a core principle underpinning the work of the South African government, we will continue to stand side by side with the DRC.
"We will work together in seeing this great nation assume its rightful place as a fellow powerhouse of the African continent."
He added that South Africa would forever be grateful for the solidarity it had received from the Congolese people during the country's liberation struggle.

Concern over conflict in eastern DRC

Zuma said it has always been South Africa's firm belief that in order to overcome poverty and to achieve prosperity through development, it was imperative that the essential preconditions of peace, security, and stability were first put in place.
He said South Africa remained deeply concerned by the enduring conflict in eastern DRC, perpetrated by local and externally supported armed groups on innocent Congolese civilians, and stood in solidarity with the DRC in overcoming this serious challenge.
"We deplore the devastating loss of life, the human suffering, the displacement of more than a million civilians and the damage to property which this intolerable situation has resulted in. I extend the deepest sympathy of the people of South Africa to the Congolese people for the hardship they continue to endure as a result of this conflict."
Zuma commended the government of the DRC on its efforts in the Kampala talks aimed at ending the conflict. "Together, we united in sending the message that for too long have the people of the DRC endured the incalculable suffering as a result of recurrent cycles of conflict.
"Enough is enough. The time for peace is now, and to those who would challenge this for their own self-interests, we stand firm in the message that your time is now up, lay down your arms, as no longer will the misery you inflict be tolerated."
Angola-DRC-SA Tripartite mechanism meets
Meanwhile, ahead of Zuma's visit, International Relations Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane joined other senior officials at the 1st Session of the Ministerial Meeting of the Angola-DRC-South Africa Tripartite Mechanism on Dialogue and Cooperation.
Nkoana-Mashabane said critical decisions had been made on the implementation of the tripartite mechanism.
"We have rededicated ourselves to make this unique mechanism a success," she said. "We have agreed to work towards the operationalisation of the permanent secretariat, and we have committed ourselves to speed up the ratification process of the MoU on the tripartite mechanism."
Established in March, the tripartite mechanism is a body designed to help consolidate peace in the Great Lakes region, and safeguard the conditions favourable to the implementation of the Framework Accord for Peace, Stability and Cooperation in the DRC, signed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in February.

thats all that reallly matters in the end CraigB
That's a question. It's not evidence. As the prosecution, you have to lead evidence. Your case isn't advancing because you have none.

Discharge your onus of proof. You lead evidence first. You don't just cross examine like an idîot prosecutor.

Where is your evidence-in-chief?

morpheus24: ****YAWN*******

What is it with pale faces I argue with, every time it shows a blek brother bout to win, they switch up the game. Your futile attempt to rigamarole the obvious is not going to work with me. You already brought up this same meaningless issue with your “correlation does not determine causation/causality” gibberish and it was established that causation is intrinsic in the logical arguement that was made, in other words the logic is sufficient to display "cause". None the less, Morpheus shall indulge thee…

Cause-effect Analysis :
Causal link…..relationship btw an event(s) and its effect.
Event :White settlement in South Africa with key emphasis on the word “settlement population”)
Effect_Rapid infrastructural development in South Africa.

Causal Link:
1. Time frame of settlement within the geographical region
2. Technology TRANSFER from Europe to initial “settler” population. RETENTION and exclusivity within settler population.
3. Establishment of white only nation states within region including the cape colony, orange free state and the Transvaal
Correlation to rapid urbanization within these states.
Infrastructure sector established and owned by settler population and development PRIMARILYcentered within settler only areas.

4. Apatheid ( separation of race/class structures) .
a. Established correlation between developed infrastructural areas and WHITE ONLY settlements.
b. Established correlation between under developed infrastructural areas and Homeland settled areas.

Post effect: 1994-current
Settler population still present:
High concentration of settler population in developed areas i.e. major cities
Rapid migration of native population into Urban/Developed areas.
Control of economy_ Majority control of industries including infrastructural sector.


Conclusion: Where would south Africa be without White people/settlers. Most likely similar to other African states in terms of infrastructural development and level of political structures. The Pseudo-African state remains Pseudo n I don’t see why it shouldn’t be designated otherwise.
Counsel ?

Morpheus says “This game is chess not checkers”
Cry us a river Mr I'll-repeat-the-same-thing-till-am-black-and-blue.

You've become a joke and your stuff sits unread.

You write long words in frustration because you have no evidence to lead and therefore, no case.

Only two things matter - the rest being rubbish.

1. You admitted Abuja can't be compared to Joburg.

2. All4naai confirmed that Naai-geria is backward.

That's all we need to know about the state if the Naai-gerian blek.

Of course you can lead evidence, which will never happen. Your case is dead and ours proven by 1 and 2. cry

I speak to what I am interested in. And what I am interested in is your confirmation that Abuja cannot be compared to Johannesburg. And your inability to rest your case, of course. We hope you will have dreamt up a different strategy by tomorrow - which will redeem your bleks.

As it is, it's been shown that your uselessness is self-inflicted or caused. As for South Africa, all we have is a question. No causal link proven. cool

Hapless prosecution. This is what happens when you frame a case based on emotions (self-hate in this case).
