Let me guess.......El-mellah sailing ship.

Frumentum:
The Algerians have every reason to highlight their sailing ship! There was a time when we Saffers had the only African Navy sailing ship and mentioning it here was anathema (that's how long I've been here). I'm immensely pleased another African Navy has taken up the baton, and the negative reactions have disappeared.

Zuma in Burundi with Recce protection

I find it very interesting when Statesmen do this. Zuma has the Counter-Assault unit as was as the PPU to call on, both are para-military and both could certainly handle the threats one would likely face in Burundi.

Misuse!!!!! rumours some people* used to guard a homestead.

Why not just better equip the PPU's CAT alpha team. Heavy retractable weapons similar to the Dillon convoy escort vehicle or the Meerkat system on a civilian vehicle. And leave the SF to handle strategic needs.

Special forces are trained to a far different level that is needed for a external deployment. Hence they where used. Police are not trained to fight armies.
