It's a South African problem, it affects our policies, affects internal South African politics.

Boko Haram is not a South African problem, it does not affect our policies and politics, and it does nothing to us BUT you post it all day long because it affects you.... everyone on his lane.

Lurker4Long:
You presume to tell me what I should concentrate on? Who the fvck do you think you are?

AskiaHarem:
His question has some creedence to it and “whataboutism” is losing whatever meaning it had by the day. To many Israel is considered an apartheid state so naturally many modern South Africans & Africans in general are against it naturally. There also those African who choose there “side” based solely on faith.

It just amazes me how passionate Africans will come out and hit the Streets to fight for foreign factions who ultimately near equally couldn’t give a $hit about Africans and there plights.

But Africans will not bring that same level of continent wide furiosity to local regional problems?

If the conflicted ended today and Nigeria invaded Ghana tomorrow killing every Ghanaian in sight ain’t no Israeli & Palestinian giving a $hit. And you can say the exact same thing regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Lurker4Long:
I wouldn't dare presume to know what "Africans" think, but for us South Africans, Israel/Palestine is not some distant foreign issue. From Jan Smuts being an advisor to Balfour and his Balfour Declaration to youngsters dying serving in the IDF, or as humanitarians in Gaza & West Bank, it's always been very much a domestic and personal issue.
Just 1 example of many: the internal debate in the SA Jewish community, as reflected in this statement by SA Jews for a Free Palestine.

It's just that there is no use crying over spilt milk but I really don't like the Viper deal. The Atak is perfect. The Tucano deal was enough to please the US

Faithful007:
Yeah you're right as they were delivered as D.

However there is an ongoing conversion to E that started in 2022. Boeing is doing the airframe upgrades while Lockheed Martin is doing the avionics and sensors. Some of US Army E versions are also upgraded versions from D. They were recalled to Boeing factory and rebuilt as E.

Faithful007:
Boeing and Lockheed Martin have been upgrading Egypt's Apache helicopters to block E since 2022.

GreenandGold:
At least your acquisition is on point.
