So what are your takes on the Ethiopian Grand Renaissance Dam situation? I've spoke to Ethiopians irl and on the internet and many believe that Egypt & Sudan will just sit there and take it with no action. I've even spoke to some that believe that the Ethiopian Airforce can defend against any Egyptian attempt on the Dam. .

One guy even told me that if Egypt successfully attacked the dam Ethiopia would blow up the Aswan Dam and occupy Cairo. When I sked many why are they so confident in Ethiopia's ability to take on Egypt after their defeat in the Tigray region they typically say something like "Egypt has never won a war" or "Do you know our history we defeated Egypt many times in the PAST".

According to just about every Black Person on Youtube if Egypt attacks Ethiopia all Sub Saharan nations and blk people across the world will declare war on Egypt.
Also do you think Turkey take tge opportunity to try something?

Nope no black nation as a block will necessarily get involved except the ones Ethiopia enjoys bilateral relations with and none of which in East Africa has the muscle to stand Egypt.

Ethiopia is not Nigeria. The current Prime Minister and government in Addis Ababa is asking for too much. He's already been taught a lesson by the tribe or region that is really the fighting elements in all of Ethiopia and across Eritrea as well. Which is why they tactically called off the offensive because in a wider war it will take all of Ethiopia's military industrial complex to sustain a war against Egypt for a long period. Winning that war is not guaranteed either on both sides even though Egypt may do the most damage. None of those countries have what it takes from human intelligent resources (Ethiopia a lot better here though) to money (Egypt better here with Arab sponsors) to have the knockout punch power. Also don't forget this is not the Ethiopia of Meles Zenawi.

Having shiny toys alone doesn't win wars.

That country is a shame. I should say a disgrace but I guess we Nigerians are not like the Southies here. We have no glee over the misfortunes of our fellow Africans especially that will help liberate them from slavery. But it doesn't help they want to measure d.ick with us though we since made strides that clearly set us apart as a geopolitical regional power.

Rwanda in Mozambique as a case in point though not entirely South Africa's making as no one exactly knows what President Nyusi of Mozambique has got to hide in the Cabo Delgado province (I suspect corruption) but it does show the limits of South Africa's power and influence in Southern Africa and Africa.

Such a thing wouldn't happen in Nigeria's backyard. When the Angolans tried such rubbish in Guinea Bissau we spoke in the language they understood using many levers of intelligence, soft and hard power to make them scurry off in a hurry in disgrace. Someone also tried to poke the nose in Bangui, CAR and well certain painful things happened.

It beholves of South Africa to do something about Mozambique and the terrorists there. If not it has no business being considered or perceived one of the regional powers in Africa.
If Rwanda does it's a shame but what do we care Rwanda is another extension of Nigeria's military influence in the SADC region of Africa.

AskiaHarem:


I know man but tell that to all the Africans on YouTube. There convinced Ethiopia with the support of the rest of blk Africa is going to erase Egypt and Sudan off the map. Honestly I think Ethiopia might get destroyed unfortunately if the Egyptians & Sudanese do take military action leaving most of Africa to just sit there with there hands crossed in astonished anger. They don't even have to invade Ethiopia conventionally all they have to do is bomb them into submission and Ethiopian Cold War Era jets can do nothing to Egypt's numerous Mirages, Raffaeles, and F16s.

AskiaHarem:


It really is ashamed South Africa was chosen to be the destination of the Primary Crown Settlement Colony of Africa. The problem with South Africa is that it lacked that native cultural development literally being at the time a wasteland of Stone Age Raider tribes. Much of the aboriginal part of the country carried over that backwards mentality to this very day which what where seeing now just replace the word "LOOTERS with RAIDERS"

I know it comes down to the environment which was the most suitable for European mass colonization its climate being the most similar to Europe and the gold rush at the time but if say Nigeria(By Extension West Africa) or The Great Lakes Region had been chosen and allowed South Africa's level of early modern development instead this hypothetical "Republic of West Africa" or "Republic of Great Lakes East Africa" by now would have been a Giga Power only 4th to the USA, Russia, and China. Not supporting colonialism just making a point.

Most South Africans on a personal level don't really care much about the rest of Africa and see it as one big "Central African Republic". They rather sit in there low income housing, shanties, and slums at the edge of cities and gloat about what the Afrikaners built.

Nigeria commissions Falcon Eye maritime domain awareness system

Written by Guy Martin -14th Jul 202142

Nigeria has commissioned the Israeli-designed Falcon Eye maritime domain awareness system to monitor the country’s territorial waters and track movements within the broader Gulf of Guinea maritime zone.

It was commissioned by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on 13 July at the Nigerian Naval Headquarters in Abuja. He said the Falcon Eye system generates real-time situational awareness of maritime activities off Nigeria’s coastline.

Falcon Eye is a mass surveillance system that uses a number of radars, electro-optic systems and cameras operated from a command centre. It was designed in Israeli but manufactured by United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based Falcon Technologies. The company also manufactures unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

After a contract was signed in 2014, installation began more than five years ago at strategic points within the country’s territorial waters and the Gulf of Guinea, and was due to be completed in 2016 but the project was delayed.

Osinbajo said Falcon Eye “will enable the Nigerian Navy generate a comprehensive intelligence picture of activities within our maritime environment for further analysis before, in appropriate cases, dispatching a Nigerian Navy Ship for interdiction, investigation, and/or subsequent arrest of erring vessels…It will also enable the Nigerian Navy to effectively combat any maritime crimes that could disrupt the conduct of maritime trade.”

He explained that Nigeria loses around $26 billion a year to criminality, particularly piracy and sea robbery, which underscores the need to enhance maritime security architecture.

“The Falcon eye system is a state-of-the-art surveillance facility that incorporates various sensors located along the nation’s enormous coastline, such as radars, long range electro optic systems with thermal or night vision capability, Automatic Identification System receivers, weather stations and marine very high frequency radios for communication,” Osinbajo said.

The system operates observation posts which feed information and real time imagery to a central command centre/fusion cell where information is analysed and shared with relevant stakeholders, including the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Nigerian Ports Authority and Marine Police, amongst others.

Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo said the Falcon Eye system “translates to complete coverage of Nigeria’s Exclusive Economic Zone. Monitoring and analysis of data from the various sites strategically located along the nation’s coastline is facilitated through the four Falcon Eye Centers in Abuja, Lagos, Yenagoa and Calabar.

“Penitently, the coverage of the satellite aspect of the Automatic Identification System of Falcon Eye extends beyond Nigerian waters to Cote D’Ivoire at the West, Cameroon at the East, and Angola at the South East.

“This significant capability enhances the maritime projection capabilities of the country and enables the Nigerian Navy to maintain strategic partnership on information sharing, especially with navies of the Gulf of Guinea nations, as well as Indian and Italian navies.”

Osinbajo pointed out that NIMASA last month launched its Deep Blue maritime security initiative. “Between these initiatives, we have significantly increased our national capabilities in the areas of maritime surveillance and criminal interdiction within our territorial waters.”

Deep Blue and Falcon Eye will allow Nigerian authorities to monitor all movements and prevent the commission of maritime crimes such as piracy, oil theft, vandalism offshore oil infrastructure and illegal aircraft movements within the Gulf of Guinea.

GENERAL YAHAYA PROMOTES PRIVATE SOLDIER FOR DISPLAY OF PROFESSIONALISM

In line with one of the pillars of his command philosophy of professionalism, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya has granted automatic promotion to 19NA/782148 Private Jamilu Mohammed. This promotion came as a result of the professional military skills displayed by the soldier at a regimental Quarter Guard during COAS' operational visit to Command Engineering Depot in Kaduna.

Decorating the Private soldier with his new badge of rank, the COAS said the soldier who was the Acting Quarter Guard Sergeant had performed his duty far above expectation. The promotion, he said, was a reward for outstanding performance as an Acting Quarter Guard Sergeant to spur others to always display a high sense of professionalism in whatever task they are assigned to perform. He added that this will not only improve the system, but also guarantee success in all military Operations.

The COAS, who was at the CED to inspect the facilities with a view to enhancing the productive capacity of the center said he was impressed with the research and developmental efforts of the engineers. He said one of his cardinal focus is to prioritize training, capacity building and professionalism amongst personnel of the NA. The COAS also reaffirmed his commitment to promoting cooperation and jointness with other security agencies in defence of the country.

Inspecting facilities during the visit, the COAS expressed satisfaction with the level of work at the depot and urged the Commander to seek further collaboration with relevant experts to quicken delivery rates, as the equipment are urgently required in the theatre of operations.

During the series of jos crisis, I know of guys who got charged to IHL for accidental discharge, I also know of guys that got dismissed from the army because they could not account for their ammo or misplaced a couple of rounds, even if it was not intentional.

I believe bidexiii would be able to relate in terms of how strict rules of engagement from that time was.

I watch the graduation ceremony speech made by the GOC of 3div for course 45.
He said a young officer posted to camp Buratai, he deserted for 400+ days, when he returned his unit did not want to properly charge him.

The NA needs to take disciplinary actions as a priority.

Some of the things we overlook this days are dismissal offense a few years ago.

We have good soldiers today but the Cortese is no more there in most cases.

If Nigeria enters Tigray now they would sue for peace in a fortnight. Nigeria arguably is the only military in Africa that has proven since the 60's and modern times the capability and capacity to win wars on its own terms. Though right now we have a faceless mortal enemy willing to die we don't really know his exact address.
