A lot, Chief.
1. Dismantling and disorganizing a Country that as always been a threat to their Franco imperial grip on West Africa and Africa at large.
(Remember that Nigeria single handedly stood against them when they carried out Nuclear test in Northern Africa back in the 60s).

2. France does not have complete grip over the Economy of their former francophone colonies in West Africa as a result of Nigerian complete hegemony on ECOWAS.

3. Complete disintegration of Nigeria will favor French dominion in West Africa as any pieces of the disintegrated Nigeria cannot stand the surrounding French puppets alone (Chad, Cameroon, Niger, Benin).

4. Nigeria was and still been seen as a British empire (by virtue of common wealth), so breaking the Nigeria stronghold is a huge win for the French empire in the competition against British empire.

5. Military wise, Nigeria is superior to its French puppet neighbors combined... This is a huge threat to the Frenchs.

6. Lastly, arms sale, arms sale, arms sale !!! Crisis, war, prolonged insurgency is a very fertile land for arms dealers. Even if Nigeria is not buying arms from France, France is reaping dollars offs their puppets surrounding Nigeria in hope to contain BH from entering their own borders.

Now, get it right, France did not start Boko Haram in Nigeria
But by extension, they have helped it grow.
How ??

1. France made sure Camerron, Chad and Niger refused to work with Nigeria during the early days of BH... Not until 2015, When the then new President Buhari took the matter to United States before they agreed to form a Multi National Task Force with Nigeria.

2. How many times have France Airforce stopped Nigerian military from chasing fleeing BH in to Chad ?

3. How many times have BH raided Chad, Niger and Cameroon military outposts only for the BH to find little and no resistance and then cart away thousands of Arm and ammunition.
I remember when BH was suffering heavy defeat feom Nigeria and it look like they were going into extinction only for them to resuscitate because they found mouth watering catches of munitions in Chad out post or is it Cameroon (I cant remember).

France and Nigeria are latent enemies. C'est fini

if nigeria feels aggrieved ,why don't Nigeria respond in kind !?

The killing has been going on for months now and they are Anglophone Cameroonians(particularly north-west region). I saw a video few days ago on twitter showing RPG rounds fired into civilian houses.

I wonder what's the Government of cameroon and A.U are doing about these killing, this is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode

they are just agitating the local,the violence will spiral out of control.if they continue forcing the locals to choose sides,AU is a useless and weak institution.they only issue condemnation and nothing else.

ECOWAS have no business with Cameroon. UN will likely be coming in.

what if the UN Does come and refugees start flocking in their millions inside Nigeria,jeopardizing Nigeria internal security?

i just saw a video of a mother carrying her child on her back,another woman with her daughter,executed by Cameroonian soldier.considering the environment is arid,its highly likely its northern Cameroon.this left me wondering,if things get worse in Cameroon. will ECOWAS countries intervene like they did in Gambia !?

Lack of situational awareness and fright made them loose.......even the helicopters were too high and shooting blindly....also the ground troops failed to engage the FARC, they were just scattered about....looking for where to hide

they were overwhelmed with the enemy coming from multiple directions in thick vegetation. FARC do target helicopters,so its wise to fly higher.also there was a Douglas AC-47 T Fantasma gunship involved in providing CAS. Luck wasn't on their side that day

Syria is currently not under an arms embargo simply because Russia is stopping any attempt at the UNSC.

i doubt there is any legality that allow any nation to arm a non-state actor

United nations security council right

We did they denied them

the same western countries that were arming syrians without anyone approval and the same arms that eventually ended in the hands alqaeda and ISIS !

I don't see why someone would buy a blackhawk instead of an mi-17

american exceptionalism at its finest,after spending millions of american tax payer money to acquire UH-60 Helicopters for Afghanistan and even proposing that the afghanistan air force scrap its MI-17 helicopter fleet.now they are accepting UH-60 has limitation and its comparable with MI-17 in Afghanistan environment and task

Pentagon Admits Afghanistan's New Black Hawks Can't Match Its Older Russian Choppers

“The transition [from Mi-17s to UH-60s] presents several challenges that have yet to be fully addressed,” the report says in a section dedicated to the issue. “Black Hawks do not have the lift capacity of Mi-17s.”

“They are unable to accommodate some of the larger cargo items the Mi-17s can carry, and in general, it takes almost two Black Hawks to carry the load of a single Mi-17,” the review continues. “Furthermore, unlike Mi-17s, Black Hawks cannot fly at high elevations and, as such, cannot operate in remote regions of Afghanistan where Mi-17s operate.” link http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/21558/pentagon-admits-afghanistans-new-black-hawks-cant-match-its-older-russian-choppers

So it is an illiteracy problem. Its ok, I used to tutor people who spoke English as a second language. Ill help you through this.

Lets start with the original post:



See that word? Experience

So, experience is something we get from doing something. In this case, they get experience from using the plane. So the usage of the word experience implies that the C-27 is something they have experience with.

And then look what I said here:



Again, we underline the fact that it has been bought. So, what am I saying? Am I saying that it failed initial requirements? No, obviously not - because they bought it.

So what then am I saying when I say the C-27 has limitations? Well, lets look tat the first post again:



Notice how the C-27 is being compared to *something*? What is that something?

Yes! Thats right! Its a C-130!

So, by reading the first post we see that the criticism of the C-27 results from both experience of use and in comparison with the the C-130!

I hope this has helped you improve your grasp on the English language. I used to charge R 300 per hour, but Ill write this up as charity work.

Please, never be to proud to ask for help!

experience !while they can't even make an assault rifle that doesn't need constant maintenance!

patches689:






"They dont know that the C-27J was developed in a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Alenia Tactical Transport, or that the USAF was one of the first and biggest operators of the C-27J with over 140 units ordered. They also dont know the story of the G.222 in US military service"

Another excellent example of the mind numbing ignorance of this board.

oh!the same America that have being using an assault rifle that needs constant maintenance.by the way,google isn't a magical portal that only you can open https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alenia_C-27J_Spartan
