Whether advertently or inadvertently.

The facts are that monies and aid are going directly or indirectly to terrorist organizations around the world including ISIS and boko haram from USAID.

We did not make up the story, it's straight from the American congress itself. Not even audios; but Videos are online everywhere to be seen.

I re-emphasise that throughout the 16 years of counterinsurgency we have consistently had independent reports of aid helicopters landing in boko haram hotspots to disembark goods.

With Jonathan, things went sour with americans and obama when they refused the americans a base in Nigeria and when they were anti-LGBTQ+.

In the DRC, we have seen crashed aid planes with diamonds and gold nuggets.

The Israelis who are direct friend to the Americans have consistently raised accusations against UNWAR who are supplied by USAID for supporting terrorists.

What we should be concerned about is arresting, charging and destroying the collaborators in Nigeria and targeted assassinations of foreigners directly involved in financing them.
We know who all these people are in Northern Nigeria. Now we know the external sources.
DSS, NSA and the NIA are incompetent toothless bulldogs who are unable to do their jobs.

Need I point out the deaths of in excess of 1 million Nigerians in this 16 years of counterinsurgency?



Faithful007:
All that talk about USAID funding BH is nonsense. While it is possible that aid from USAID may have been used at any point by terrorism/ insurgency groups as in the case of hamas. That does not equate to funding of terrorist groups.

The way BH/ISWAP and the rest of them operate, mixes them up with the civilian populations and makes it easier for them to divert aid meant for civilians.

President Trump and his team playing a game here. They want to end unconditional aid majority of which is carried out by USAID. The aim is to collapse it and bring all aid under the state department. Since USAID was established by congress, they cannot technically shut it down. So they played a smart game. First he made Marco Rubio, the state secretary head of USAID.

Now they know that courts will still order that funds allocated for USAID be spent so they started the whole terrroism story to achieve two things. Destroy public support locally and internationally for USAID, and crush any support for it in congress. GOP senators will no longer want to vote for any further funding for USAID and her finance will stall. Next all current employees will either leave or move to the state dept.

As for the effects in Africa. Well we’ve seen this game play out in Mali and Niger. Anti western sentiment grew, coups happened and all the NGOs got chased out. Did insurgency reduce? The opposite happened.

16 years into an insurgency, they still cannot make heads or tails out of an insurgency. They can't identify leaders, they are infiltrated by 5th columnists. Boko Haram is running circles around them.

They claim they need this new equipment new helicopters, new UAV, new aviation arm and they will destroy Bokoharam. Yet they can't still do anything.

Now the new story is that they need 500,000 new soldiers to defeat Boko Haram.

Who are we kidding in this rotten countryhuh

Foreign AffairsRe: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by rugged7(m): 12:59pm On Feb 12, 2025
114 battalion HQ of the incompetent @HQNigerianArmy has been dislodged and undisclosed number of soldiers were killed and casualties, it's quite unfortunate that many soldiers fighting this bokoharam fight are yet to know that this Boko Haram fight is a government sponsored fight.
MRAPS destroyed, ammunition stolen.

Nig Army 114 Battalion in Bita, Borno state, dislodged and overrun by ISWAP early Tuesday, 11 February. Soldiers have returned to assess the damage done to their equipment, with some carted away by the terrorists. 114 is one of the strongest military formations we have in the NE

Clarification: the dislodged formation is not the 114 Battalion stationed in Bita, but a nearby Company under its command, along Mubi-Michika Road.

Meanwhile the "rehabilitated Boko Haram" are sneaked back into the army and security services

Foreign AffairsRe: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by rugged7(m):
Lol.

But you keep responding,

Like the loyal slave you really are.

Houseboy.

Lol....clowns

How won't it be ipob??

Have u spotted the hateful 9ja delta militant, fulani herdsman, skull miner, boko haram or oduduwa?

That is how u all are and how your low brain works.

Olodo rapata.

Ostrich with head in the sand. Your yansh is exposed omoale.



MiddleDimension:
hateful IPOB spotted.

Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by rugged7(m):
The United Kingdom is the most evil & poisonous colonial relic of all other european countries.

Even France and Belgium pale in comparison.

This is why the americans fought them and beat them. Now they keep them at arm's length.

Everything directly or indirectly wrong and rotten with the country Nigeria can be traced to the five leperous fingers of the diabolical Brits.


MiddleDimension:
I don't like the whole idea of moving away from the UK, that's our history and we should not put it aside.

We changed the rank of a Brigadier to Brigadier General. Those who were in support of that were like moving away from colonial past. But why move from a ''colonial past'' (which for me is unnecessary), to taking on American style rank?

Foreign AffairsRe: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by rugged7(m):
lol, see the house negro, coon and leviathan..

But you jumped to engage me, abi?.

Who will give your dirty yansh an apology ni... ??

I will keep calling out you & your sycophantic group of low lives on this forum.

All of una know yourselves...


Odunayaw:
I need no apology. An idiot says only what is on his heart, he doesn't care for fact or reason.

If his father is an empty barrel, that's his business. Mine isn't and at best if I cared about his excrement, I'd only tag him a liar.

His place is in the gutters

Foreign AffairsRe: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by rugged7(m):
You break into my house with a revolver.

And you cry foul because i pulled my double barrel from underneath my bed.

My friend, either be fair or you stay clear of the fireworks.

These deranged sycophants are well known to everybody on this page , unless you are new or u are one of them.

What's your buisness with my conversation with themhuh

You are embarrassing us by antagonizing the South Africans.

Foreign AffairsRe: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by rugged7(m):
You are obviously biased otherwise you would have noticed where he 1st insulted me; warranting my response.

This is my problem with you Nigerians, always burying your heads in the sands of tribalism and sycophancy.

Try and follow the straight and narrow path, let the truth set you free.

tutudesz:
Gentlemen!! We are mature enough to reply ourselves without insults.
Rugged7 , you should apologize for insulting his father

Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by rugged7(m):
You have NO BASIS or BEDROCK for your claims.

South Africa has no current military expertise on anything.

All your engagements have resulted in major fatalities prompting your consistent withdrawals with your tails between your legs.

Sebi na Africa? You are still boy beginners in this game and you will learn more painful lessons.





GreenandGold:
Everyone thinks they're tough until they face South Africans 🤣🤣

As I said to you, South Africa has no interest in fighting an intercountry-war, we have nothing to gain out of it and Kagame knows it, and he's just playing accordingly.

Honestly, the SANDF at this "weakened" state is multitudes stronger than Rwanda at it's best.... Bro, pilots are trained to counter SAM batteries, the Gripen has a literal EW pack built-in just for SAMs, SOF can find SAM batteries and introduce them to the Denel NTW-20 behind enemy lines. grin

I can explain to you how Rwanda could be sent to the stone ages in a single night of the Gripen and the G5 pounding inside their territory, and their "hardened" troops will have to dig in thousands of mass graves for themselves in either Rwanda or Kivu.

Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by rugged7(m):
Depressing brown vs depressing green..

Belted brown vs Unbelted green.

The quality of the training and effectiveness of your troops is often much better than preening like a peacock.

Ask the americans...

MiddleDimension:
but I think they are better than the depressing green we wear. Also, that jumper should always be worn with a belt

Like your father

Odunayaw:
Empty barrel
Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by rugged7(m):
Very easy to mouth off.

The present SANDF is nowhere comparable to the Apartheid South african Army.

Your army is ill-trained, ill paid, ill-equipped and inexperienced.

Your gripen fleet is practically grounded. The 1 or 2 that can fly will be quickly brought down by Rwandan SAM missiles.

The Rwandan army is a seasoned fighting force with recurrent exposure to the force doctrine right from the Ugandan Bush wars..

That small professional Rwandan army will bring the blundering south african army to it's knees.

Like Kagame told you, fuqq around and find out.

GreenandGold:
As I had stated, if Rwandan/M23 managed to kill a dozen South African troops, then the SA troops took hundreds more on the Rwandan/M23 side....

If we really needed to go to war with them, just a single infantry Division, 6 Gripens, 4 Rooivalks and 3 artillery batteries would send Rwanda into the stone age... I mean, their biggest power station is within the range of the the G5 from the border.. They should thank their Rwandan gods, Cyril is a calm man and the South Africans are not interested in far away wars.
Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by rugged7(m): 2:09pm On Feb 08, 2025
Because , at some point in your life, you have to stop copying your colonialists and start being original.

Same reason americans and some african countries have stopped wearing the british lawyers' peruke/wigs.

MiddleDimension:
Why don't the NA wear this colour anymore?

and also the belt?
Foreign AffairsRe: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by rugged7(m):
This boy, i no be your house help.

The same way u copied that info from zagazola, also copy the more authentic information of how the ACP died.

Your problem will always be how to swallow and propagate government propaganda.

Information is easily available online for you to cross-check your facts.

Anwo specialist sycophants.

This is how u all ended up with the du' nunu brainless half-breed- Buhari and now the drug dealer - T pain.

He was shot by the Nigerian military, he died 7 years after from complications related to that gunshot by the army.

They couldn't even fly him abroad for optimal treatment.

A bloody waste of a good officer.

Odunayaw:
ACP Dauda Buba Fika, Boko Haram’s Nightmare, Passes Away

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Dauda Buba Fika, a revered officer in Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram, has passed away. He died at the National Hospital, Abuja, at about 3:30 PM on Tuesday.

ACP Fika, known for his bravery and leadership, played a key role in reclaiming several towns in Yobe and Borno states from Boko Haram insurgents. As the Commander of Mopol 41, he led joint security operations that significantly weakened terrorist strongholds, including the liberation of his hometown, Fika, from their grip.

In 2017, he sustained gunshot injuries during an operation in Yobe State, injuries that required prolonged medical treatment until his passing.

Security officials, colleagues, and members of the public have expressed deep sorrow over his death, describing him as a fearless warrior who dedicated his life to restoring peace in Nigeria’s Northeast.

His legacy in counterterrorism efforts remains a testament to his unwavering commitment to national security.

RIP

FACTS!!!
When I talk, those rotten government sycophants on this forum think everything is a game and want to shut me up.

Meanwhile men are dying. 22 men + 1 redneck in 1 day!!!

It is CRIMINAL and calls for a court martial of somebody.

Watching the Nigerian army throughout the 16 years of counterinsurgency, one of their weakest points is base defence.
A reasonable army would get some of the best brains to fly in and have table top exercises and seminars on practical base defence tactics.
They would discuss with surrounding west, sahel & central region militaries on the similarity of attacks and implement changes to trainings in depot Nigeria, NDA , TRADOC.and most command and control centres.


bidexiii:
One thing we should have learnt by now and until now there has not been changes and our red necks are not adapting rapidly.
They'll rather spent funds on Gucci head quarters etc. Our F.O.B are not well protected from threats like the deadly V.B.I.E.D. I mean what does it take to have well protected base with enough obstacles , trenches and Hesco Barrier etc.

One would asked, where is our airforce with all the findings they've enjoyed, this are times the ground soldiers needs them the most.
Foreign AffairsRe: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by rugged7(m): 9:31pm On Feb 02, 2025
Dont mind them.

When I talk now, the usual suspects will start mouthing off.

Same mistakes over and over again makes the military look incompetent.

How can a VBIED drive all the way straight into the middle of an FOB to explodehuh Where are the obstruction to prevent this? Aren't the FOBs mined to prevent approach?

Where is the aircover, fire support and QRF? U have multiple Tucanos, UAVs and helicopters which should have been scrambled as soon as news of the attack started.

Instead they leave an FOB to defend itself for 2 to 4 hours without coverhuh?

GROSS INVOMPETENCE.


Hulu:
Yes, very intense battle there and watched it over and over again but in it all I never saw the airforce and their new toys there, what went wrong with our military, why is there no synergy among them all to work together when the time comes,
A Colonel should have his own air cover na for christ sake, not just ground forces alone, omo that battle dey intense ooo, but the deaths were unnecessary.

lol...Rwanda is taking the South African cowards for a ride...

Paul Kagame
@PaulKagame
I held two conversations this week with President Ramaphosa on the situation in Eastern DRC, including earlier today. What has been said about these conversations in the media by South African officials and President Ramaphosa himself contains a lot of distortion, deliberate attacks, and even lies. If words can change so much from a conversation to a public statement, it says a lot about how these very important issues are being managed.

A few important clarifications for the record:

1. The Rwanda Defence Force is an army, not a militia.

2. SAMIDRC is not a peacekeeping force, and it has no place in this situation. It was authorized by SADC as a belligerent force engaging in offensive combat operations to help the DRC Government fight against its own people, working alongside genocidal armed groups like FDLR which target Rwanda, while also threatening to take the war to Rwanda itself.

3. SAMIDRC displaced a true peacekeeping force, the East African Community Regional Force, and this contributed to the failure of the negotiation processes.

4. President Ramaphosa has never given a "warning" of any kind, unless it was delivered in his local language which I do not understand. He did ask for support to ensure the South African force has adequate electricity, food and water, which we shall help communicate.

5. President Ramaphosa confirmed to me that M23 did not kill the soldiers from South Africa, FARDC did.

6. If South Africa wants to contribute to peaceful solutions, that is well and good, but South Africa is in no position to take on the role of a peacemaker or mediator. And if South Africa prefers confrontation, Rwanda will deal with the matter in that context any day.

Rwanda Military doing excellent work deporting these white colonisers who have been looting Africa dry.
They should be "dashing' them one bullet for leg each as souvenir as they fly back to their country..
They would never extend the same mercy to Black Africans.
Africans hate themselves more that they hate these white demons.
Africa needs to learn to stop being merciful to these muzungus.

[/b]Nigeria’s CDS urges Niger, others to rescind decisions to quit ECOWAS[b]

Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, has urged the Republics of Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali to rescind their decisions to quit the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Musa made the appeal in a remarks at the 5th Lake Chad Governors’ Forum on Wednesday in Maiduguri.
He urged them to rescind their decision to quit the regional body in spite of the Jan. 29, exit deadline.
“We urge our brothers in Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso to remain part of ECOWAS.
“We must not allow political differences to divide us. The strength of Africa lies in our unity and cooperation.
“Our collective efforts to address regional security challenges, such as terrorism, insurgency, and climate change, are critical to our shared prosperity.” he said.
the CDS said maintaining regional cooperation was vital for the stability of the Lake Chad Basin, a region severely affected by violent extremism and other security challenges.
According to him, the crucial role of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) is not to be overemphasised, saying there was need for continued support for its operations in addressing cross-border security issues.
“We stand united in our mission to rebuild and stabilise the Lake Chad region. It is essential that we continue to work together, with all stakeholders, to ensure lasting peace and development.
“We must not allow political rifts to derail the progress we have made. The stakes are too high for our people,” he said.
The CDS acknowledged the significant sacrifices made by the armed forces and other security agencies in the region and called for more support from both national governments and international partners to further strengthen the stabilisation efforts.
He also underscored the importance of a balanced approach, combining both kinetic and non-kinetic actions to achieve sustainable peace.
“Challenges will always come, but we shall prevail. Together, we will overcome them. The people of the Lake Chad Basin have shown remarkable resilience, and with continued unity, we will achieve lasting peace and prosperity,” he said.

The-week-long 5th Lake Chad Governors’ Forum, is expected to provide platform for further discussions on regional security, the return of displaced persons, and the implementation of the stabilisation strategy in the affected areas.

The forum, which brings together regional leaders and stakeholders, focuses on promoting peace, stability, and sustainable development in the Lake Chad Basin.

I don't support Rwanda military activity in the

To be fair, Rwanda have been very professional with their M23 Proxy militia.

No outright slaughter of innocents so far. And a professional set up with the infiltration of their army followed closely by their Police with dogs etc

Go back to your African military post where u censor every truthful fact.

Thank you bidexiii for being factually accurate.

This is why I don't even argue with those fan boys on African military anymore - tojuwest and odunayaw. They take every valid criticism of the military like pulling teeth.

Look at how u countered them logically.

Imagine someone talking about aesthetics being the obsessionhuh

Even the DRC has gumboots and tarpaulin and rain gear for their troops during rainy season. This is not hidden, and is not exclusive to special forces. U just need to google or go to Warhammer site to appreciate this.
Have u seen thise Nigerian troops during northern harmattan ?

From communications to primary weapons , secondary weapons and support weapons, MRAPS and artillery. It's as clear as day.

DRC is even 3 times the size of Nigeria. With a 10th of the budget.

They are complaining of DRC loosing equipment. Ludicrous!!!
It's so comical that they can't turn the mirror on themselves. Nigeria military has practically lost every piece of equipment from jets, helicopters, MRAPS, artillery pieces, tanks to FOBs.

Just review the defensive frailties of a typical FOB of the Nigerian military. Same weakness leading to them being overun again and again.
What exactly do they teach at these training schools from depot, NDA, command and staff colleges. TRADOC is suspect.

They don't understand that constructive criticism is a way for the armed forces to improve.




bidexiii:
Those guys carry basic equipment & quality gear, compared to our present SOF in various theatre.

I see Kenya has a dedicated simulation area it regularly trains with U.K troops.
What is the drawback?
