ActivateKruger:
Agh please, stop playing the victims game.

Henry240 talked about massive investments in Morocco, then you were quickly to add Kenya on the list with 90MW

I'm sure you didn't read me mentioning South Africa in any of my posts.... Anyway I no longer want to play.

IDK the KN were so casual! You can't see the KA mixing civvie and mil that way. Surprising since the former normally cream the latter at march and shoot. In 09 or 10 they finished a whole 20 mns ahead of the army team at Uaso Ngiro swamp! A KN lost his rifle and lower right arm to a croc.

Fidha254:
Nowadays you cant walk 100m in Nairobi without spoting a camera staring at you all thanks to uncle kamau's integrated urban surveillance system

A video of the comand center (the voice and the sound in the video sounds like one of those realy badly done african movies (no offence) but its a nice video)

Henry240:
Dude loosen up, it's only a light hearted joke.

Henry240:
Africaken254, Fidha were are you lot?


@Tinfoil is the only East-African active, but i'm sure he lives in Minneapolis, in America. That's why he can post.

Kenyan mechanics perform such sensitive work their identities cannot be revealed.

It's easier said than done. Some Americans are dumb if they think those companies will relocate to the states. The Google pixel and Iphone 7 cost a fortune despite been manufactured in China. What do you think the prices will be if manufactured at home?

frumentius:
AMISOM is an AU, not UN mission, so good luck getting re-imbursed by a cash-strapped AU. Besides, Kenya went into Somalia unilaterally, and only got AMISOM-hatted after the fact. We were in Burundi for 10 years paying not just for ourselves, but for Mozambique as well when it was just an AU mission. By the time the UN came in, our mission was over and we consoled ourselves with a job well done for fellow Africans.

Kenya and the EU

The European Union is a longstanding partner of Kenya. The first formal link between the then European Community (EC) and Kenya was forged in 1968 at Arusha when the East African Community signed the Arusha convention establishing trade relations between three partner states (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) and the EC. Kenya then became a member of the African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of developing countries which signed the Lomé I Convention in 1975. A year later the European Commission established a permanent Delegation in Nairobi to promote the implementation of Kenya-EC cooperation.

This cooperation of over forty years of a committed and long-term strategic allegiance, providing a comprehensive range of trade, development, security and humanitarian support to build peace and prosperity in the country. Above all, Europeans – businesspeople, diplomats, tourists, artists, NGO workers and many more - are invested in a relationship with the people of Kenya, a close cultural and social relationship that will last for many decades to come.

Together with its 28 member states, Europe is Kenya's largest trading partner and market for its exports worldwide. The European Union supports Kenya’s leadership in the region, as an economic gateway and trade leader, and supporter of good governance. European companies lead the way in investing in Kenya, generating thousands of jobs and tax revenue. The European Investment Bank provides long-term development loans, at generous rates, to support the building of energy and transport infrastructure.

Kenya’s security is dependent on regional stability and is important to the security of Europe.

The European Union is the largest supporter of the peace process in Somalia, including in financial support to the African Union Mission to Somalia. We also strongly support regional institutions of security and stability.

The European Union believes that development support in line with Kenya's national priorities is key to increasing prosperity but also recognises a growing role for the private sector, trade and investment. The EU and its member states make the largest contribution of development assistance to Kenya. European Union development assistance is supporting new born babies and farmers; devolution and access to justice; roads and energy infrastructure; access to affordable food and clean water; the urban poor and those living in Kenya’s remote regions.

From 2014 to 2020, the European Union will spend Euros 435 million, working closely with the Government of Kenya, to continue to improve key Infrastructure, agricultural development and food security, and to support governance that builds social unity.

Development assistance is only one pillar of the comprehensive partnership with Kenya.

Nigeria and the EU


Nigeria has never been an aid-dependent country. Its own financial resources from oil and gas exports far outweigh those that can be provided by donors. However, the EU considers that external aid could play a role in enabling the authorities to make better use of their own resources, particularly by supporting the government's own initiatives to improve governance. The country has undertaken important reforms in public financial management, in particular to fight corruption.

Inspite of the oil sector’s dominance, it is the non-oil sector that is fuelling growth. Sustainable expansion of agriculture is expected to play a big part in unleashing future economic growth. On the political front, the country is considered as an emerging democracy. However, it faces an Islamist insurgency – Boko Haram – in the North and renewed instability in the Niger Delta.

The West African country is on track to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on universal primary education, greater gender equality and women’s empowerment. Other MDGs are further from reach: poverty reduction, child mortality and maternal health.

The National Indicative Programme for Nigeria outlines the main focal sectors of the EU cooperation with the country during the period 2014-20 under the 11th European Development Fund.

Over the past decade, EU-Nigeria cooperation has steadily expanded. It is grounded in the ‘EU-Nigeria Joint Way Forward’ agreed between the EU and Nigeria in 2009. This outlines the priorities for bilateral EU-Nigeria cooperation. The 10th EDF Country Strategy Paper sets out the priorities for EU funding to the country, 2008-13.

The 10th EDF programme for Nigeria, jointly drawn up with the Federal Republic of Nigeria, allocates €677 million for the period 2008-13. The three priority areas for programme and project funding are:
