Here is the 2019 list of strongest military in Africa. The list was generated through its fighting power, intelligence and weaponry.

10. Libya

The strength of Libya’s military comes mainly from its large cache of equipment, despite a relatively small number of active troops. Further hampering Libya’s abilities is the continuing violence and unrest stemming from the revolution which began in 2011.

9. Angola
The Angolan Armed Forces (FAA), headed by Chief of Staff Geraldo Nunda, succeeded the Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola in 1991. It has three components: the army, the navy, and the air force.

8. Tunisia
The Tunisian Armed Forces is composed of three mechanized brigades, one Saharan territorial group, one special forces group, and one military police regiment.

7. Morocco
Highly dependent on foreign equipment, the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces have been involved in the conflict with the POLISARO, a liberation movement fighting for the independence of Western Sahara.

6. Kenya
Kenya has established itself as a vital participant in international peacekeeping missions, and is able to do so due to its merchant marine strength and an enormous labor force – resulting in high available manpower.

5. Nigeria
Due to its size, it’s no surprise that several hundred thousand troops comprise the Nigerian Armed Forces — army, navy, and air force.

4. South Africa
As it hasn’t been embroiled in an international military conflict for some time, South Africa uses its highly advanced military for peacekeeping and international cooperation.

3. Ethiopia
As a landlocked country, Ethiopia has focused its resources on developing its army and air force to an impressive degree (the GFP doesn’t penalize landlocked countries for not having a naval force).

2. Algeria
As Algeria has a large maritime border, it has developed all its military capabilities to an impressively modern degree, including its land, sea, and air forces.

1. Egypt
Egypt puts itself over the top with regard to military strength due to the sheer size of its armed forces.

Apart from Morroco, Algeria, and Egypt, Other Army is only strong whenever they are dealing with citizens they ought to protect. Ndị Ara

PapaBaby:
Bros remove Nigeria from your list.
Nigerian Army that is controlled by the likes of Hamisu Wadume and runs at the sight of bokoharam is nothing but boys scout army.
