Evarn you really need help. I have often told you that you mostly just type to be heard even if u mean well. But first you learn to separate facts from fiction and emotion from reality and take a pinch of salt of history next time you write on such matters as these etcetera.

Do you know right now the South African foreign minister is holding brief for his xenophobic people and characterizing every Nigerian as a drug dealer much like Trump to the Mexicans. In fact our foreign intelligence has it that most of the drug hustlers on the streets are from Gambia, Guinea and most other unlikely places even the Caribbean and not Nigerians.

I recommend you do some more reading to understand people's. Just to be clear "nigh every South African is xenophobic including its government one way or another" owing to it's long history of racism and apartheid. The Nigerian government knows it just like every other African country but everyone knows the ire is directed against Nigerians who they perceive in their sub-conscious minds are greater people than them. What they do is borne out of this misconception that we are their competition in Black Africa. It's a mindset that's not gonna go away until we actually do something to rub it in their face that we are no peers. That's what great powers do to establish hegemony.

Right now the federal government is on the right path something that might just be the only good thing it's done if it follows through. Nigeria holds the cards.

Apparently the Federal Government is doodling again and back to its old ways of ineptitude. Right now the first course of action should be to cancel the planned State Visit of President Muhammadu Buhari in the face of renewed xenophobia in South Africa. Recall the ambassador. Expel South Africa's High Commissioner from Abuja. Give a threat of nationalising South Africa's interest in Nigeria and deploy a mechanized infantry battalion of the Nigerian Army to Malawi or eSwatini as a precaution to protect its citizens in an eventuality of total break down of law and order in South Africa against Nigerians there. President Ramaphosa will get the message and do something.

This is something a PDP Atiku presidency would have done. But this APC administration can't be trusted.

How do you expect to get an entire battalion to Malawi......Never mind eSwatini??

Honestly couldn't care less about your opinion on what Nigeria should do BUT at least be realistic!!

The Algerian delegation, led by the Air Force Commander, which visiter MAKS air show that was held a few days ago in Moscow, inked two agreements with the Russian arms exporter Rosoboronexport.
The first order is a confirmation of our article published last year regarding the acquisition of a Mig 29 M / M2 interceptor squadron . This contract can be explained by the withdrawal in 2020 of Mig 29 S, from the 193rd Fighter Squadron and a renewal of the fleet. The 193rd SQN is usually used for QRA and air policing.

The second contract should be an order for an additional Su 30 fighter squadron and probably also the upgrade of the entire Su 30 fleet with the modernization pack proposed by Kret.

Few details have filtered about the second contract, but the upgrade should affect the on-board electronics, radar, arming system, in addition to a towed decoy and other systems upgrades.

It was created by a presidential decree published on July 11, the Establishment of technical systems development will be in charge of the development, design, and manufacture of missiles and weapons systems for the benefit of the Algerian army.
This company will be based in Magra, in the Wilaya of M’Sila East of the country. Its mission will be “establishing a research and development center for the design, engineering and manufacturing of the weapon systems and specific ammunition. ” according to the decree.

It is by looking at the composition of its shareholding that it is possible to understand the true vocation of this structure. In addition to the traditional shareholders such as the staff of the ANP, the Directorate of Military Manufactures or the Department of Supply, this structure will have as shareholders and probably as suppliers / partners the following entities: SCAFSE (which manufactures radar systems, electronic, Optics and Communications), ERIS (which manufactures ammunition) and ONEX (which produces special explosives).

The network of foreign partners working with these three companies is important: the Chinese of Norinco with ONEX, the Serbs of Zastava with ERIS and the Germans, Cassidian and Carl Zeiss with SCAFSE.

Although the decree does not give details of the project, it is easy to understand that it is a question of putting a process allowing to manufacture locally missiles systems, surface-surface, air-ground or soil-air, as well as guided shells and rockets.

In October 2018 another munitions factory was created in the same district, about thirty kilometers distance, it should begin to producelarge caliber ammunition and the different types of shells.

EPIC / EDST is authorized to import and export military equipment and specific components.
