You know I find it so interesting that despite the fact Nigeria and Ethiopia are the respective military powers of there regions, are culturally pivotal pillars of Africa, and share a similar national situation being large frankin countries made up of a plethora of bickering ethnic groups and cultural distinct mini-states the two countries share little to no interaction whatsoever.

Even Nigerians and Ethiopians out in the wild don’t mesh with each other much.

Foreign powers behind Nigeria’s insecurity
– Buhari

Published on January 30, 2023

By Muhammad Bukar

President Muhamamdu Buhari has attributed Nigeria’s insecurity problem to powerful countries bent on destroying Nigeria.

Buhari made the assertion on Monday in Kano at a presidential lunch after his tour around the state to commission projects by the administration of Governor Ganduje.

According to him: “One can clearly see how these foreign countries took on our weaker part of Nigeria, the Lake Chad where we have reserves of crude oil, and cause serious mayhem there with consistent attacks.”
But for Governor Zulum who is serious with his duty, the story of the area around Lake Chad would have been different by now, Buhari said.

The President reminded that in 2015 when he assumed office, only four of Borno’s 17 local government areas were not in the hands of Boko Haram.

“And we are aware that people are using the insurgents who are fraudulent to cause problems, but today most of these local governments [areas] are free,” he said.

The President added that those behind the insecurities knew that Borno was potentially a rich state. “That was why when I was a governor there, I went to Niger, Chad and even Cameroon because you need your neighbours to survive,” he stated.

Foreign groups bent on destroying Nigeria behind Boko Haram — Buhari

By Abdulmumin Murtala, Kano

President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that he suspects international groups that want to destroy Nigeria are behind the plight of Boko Haram we have faced, adding that it is fraudulent even by the name given to the terror group.

He stated this while delivering a keynote address at a lunch organized by the Kano state government on Monday after the commissioning of some federal and state projects.

“When we came into power in 2015, Boko Haram was in control in 13 of the 27 local governments of the state, only four were with the government then.
“More so, half of the local governments in Yobe state were with Boko Haram.

“Today with the help of a patriotic and dedicated governor in Borno state the local governments have been recovered.
“What is Boko Haram? It is very fraudulent. I suspect there’s an international group that wants to destroy Nigeria. If not, how can Boko (western education) be Haram?, the President stated.

Only thing strange here is that the Nigerian government is publicly acknowledging this. People on the level has known/speculated for years on BokoHarems “foreign supporters”. This type of shenanigans is quite common in Africa unfortunately. Nigeria’s existence more specifically it’s potential is a massive threat to “certain groups” of people on this space rock.

Additional transport aircraft high on SAAF’s priority list
Guy Martin -30th Jan 20231955

A SAAF C-130 Hercules.
Medium and strategic airlift are at the centre of the South African Air Force’s (SAAF’s) attention due to its commitments on the African continent, Chief of the SAAF Lieutenant General Wiseman Mbambo has said.

Mbambo’s comments come amid reports that National Treasury is allocating funding for C-130 Hercules aircraft. The SAAF will need to decide whether to upgrade its existing C-130BZs or accept retired C-130s from the United States, which would also need to be upgraded. Last year the US offered the SAAF a dozen retired H model Hercules under its Excess Defence Articles (EDA) programme. A SAAF technical team travelled to the United States in September to examine the aircraft.

In mid-2022, the South African Department of Defence revealed that it was exploring upgrading the C-130BZ Hercules fleet of five airworthy aircraft plus one in storage at a cost of R1.6 billion, as the fleet only has a couple more years of life in it before upgrades are needed.

Mbambo, in response to a defenceWeb question on acquiring additional C-130s, said “in our road going forward, the medium lift capability is right in the centre of our attention. Also, there is a lot of talk around the strategic lift capability. This is not a surprise as to why this capability is being mentioned. The reality we face is South Africa is not in a strategic position. Our location cannot be changed. We need to have very strong legs to connect ourselves to the rest of the continent and the world.”


Lieutenant General Wiseman Mbambo.
Mbambo, speaking to the media following the SAAF’s Prestige Day Parade at Air Force Base Swartkop on 27 January to celebrate the force’s 103rd anniversary, said the transport capability is very important in terms of C-130s and, going forward, strategic lift, especially if South Africa has its troops moving up and down the continent. At present, the National Defence Force has troops deployed in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mozambique.

Mbambo added that National Treasury “is warming up” towards funding medium and strategic lift, and “that is very very very good.”

Mbambo indicated the SAAF is still deciding whether to fund the upgrade of the current C-130BZs, as funding is needed to get a number of them flyable, or accepting donated C-130Hs that will also require funding to upgrade.

With regard to the Gripen fleet, a maintenance contract with Saab was signed last year, allowing a couple of aircraft to return to the air and fly at the Africa Aerospace and Defence exhibition in September, but defenceWeb understands an engine support contract with GKN has yet to be signed. No Gripens took part in the SAAF’s Prestige Day Parade flypast, but Mbambo is confident two Gripens will be made available for Armed Forces Day on 21 February.

Mbambo said the SAAF plans to have 13 Gripens back in the air, as per the contract with Saab, but could not give a timeline on that.

The Chief of the SAAF made mention of the “serious issues” facing the Air Force, notably the chronic lack of funds. “This Air Force has tasted what greatness is and at the same time this Air Force has tasted what adversity is and what it is to live with limited funding.” Rebuilding capabilities is something the SAAF aims to do in order to return to its former glory and ensure it is “fully operational across different capability areas, so people have no doubt the Air Force is there.”

“The limitations are real and the constraints are real. If we can just switch to how we approach these problems and provide different solutions we can find a way going forward,” Mbambo said.

In his Prestige Day Parade speech, Mbambo said that “when a common pool form which everyone goes to for quenching their thirst is shrinking, nobody is spared from the consequent results. Our national pool – the South African economy – is currently not in a good shape. The snowball impact is felt everywhere including in the Department of Defence and equally in the South African Air Force. As this reality continues, the mandate of the Air Force to ensure South Africa’s airspace territorial integrity still remains. Furthermore, the increased demand for air assets due to the upsurge of various security threats and disasters cannot be wished away.”

Mbambo quoted defence minister Thandi Modise, who last year said there is a widening dichotomy between that which the SANDF is expected to achieve and the resources that are provided to achieve these expectations.

Mbambo said the SAAF is looking at different approaches to deal with the problem of scarce resources. “Our continuous engagements withal key roleplayers to bring Air Force capabilities to the required combat readiness status is persistent.”

Sigma Logistic Solutions

The SAAF Chief mentioned that “we still believe that as the military organisation we must continue to grow our own timber.” He said, “we are going to accelerate the inhouse capabilities in the SAAF this year and beyond. Already there are visible seeds in certain areas which we shall unveil before the end of this

It is strange that the Nigerian government does not actively seek put these free defence articles from the U.S government.

The C130s are being offered to practically everybody but the Nigerians.

Meanwhile there is a strong need for medium lift capacity.

Niger Air Force Receives Third and Last C-130 Hercules Military Transport Aircraft

By YUSUF ÇETINER in AIR FORCE, AVIATION, NEWS, TACTICAL AIRLIFT, USA January 9, 2023

At a ceremony at Niger Air Base 101 in Niamey, the Niger Air Force (Armée de l’Air du Nigér) received the third and final C-130 Hercules aircraft donated by the US government. The ceremony was attended by Niger Defense Minister Alkassoum Indatou, US Embassy Charge d’affaires Susan N’Garnim in Niamey, senior officers of the Niger defense forces, and many civilian guests.

In his speech at the ceremony, Niger’s Minister of Defense, Alkassoum Indatou, stated that the delivery of the third aircraft demonstrated the strength of bilateral cooperation between Niger and the United States. In his speech, Indatou repeatedly emphasized the importance of this support for the Republic of Niger, and said, “It is important to emphasize that the United States’ support for the C130 project is more constructive as it covers all areas from management to operational implementation of this aircraft,” and thanked the US for its contribution to security in the Sahel region.

According to Susan N’Garnim, interim charge d’affaires at the US Embassy in Niger, this delivery is the most significant milestone in the 44-year history of the US-Niger C-130 project, as it aligns Niger’s training capability with the programs of the US and Western partners. The American diplomat continued her speech by stating that the new C-130 aircraft presented to Niger will be a ground trainer aircraft and will be used training aircraft crews and maintainers.

The United States delivered the first of three C-130 aircraft to Niger in January 2021, using the United Nations mobility platform for various humanitarian operations as well as troop and vehicle movements. On December 7, 2021, the second aircraft was delivered to the Niger Armed Forces at Niger Air Base 101 in Niamey. As part of the US C-130 program, Niger receives infrastructure development, maintenance training, consultants, aviation parts, and other supporting equipment in addition to the delivery of these aircraft. So far, the United States has trained 16 Nigerian pilots, 19 maintenance personnel, 6 crew chiefs, 5 loadmasters, and 1 flight engineer. The US has also renovated a C-130 hangar at Niger Air Base 101 in Niamey and built a new C-130 hangar at Niger Air Base 201 in the northern city of Agadez.

The Niger Air Force now has four C-130H aircraft in its inventory after the final delivery. These aircraft will all be stationed at Niamey’s Air Base 101 and will be used for troop/cargo transport and medical evacuation missions. However, the aircraft can also perform a variety of other tasks, such as airlift support and natural disaster relief, in order to support USAFE-AFAFRICA’s ongoing humanitarian operations throughout the Sahel and counter the activities of violent extremist organizations.

That's some serious stuff being acquired by junta dictator Assimi Goita ostensibly for the fight against terrorists but in reality for regime preservation as its with all unelected usurpers of power. His trained special forces eye is gleaned on ECOWAS and a potential invasion.

Clearly that guy continues to dig in from the start and exported his putschists credentials to Burkina Faso and now Guinea with backing of of no less Wagner elements and the Kremlin. Shouldn't have been allowed to happen, one of the failures of President Buhari's foreign policy in the West Africa sub-region & Africa in general except for The Gambia. Mali must be reined in.

Agreed without question.

I am sure I talked about this over a year ago, when I lost interest in this discourse, which has become praise singing hallelujah choir, by many here .

Presenting mediocrity and incompetence as oustanding professionalism with lots of glossy pictures.
