Egypt deploys troops in Somalia. Possible disruption and insurgencies in Ethiopia to follow soon.

Somalia set to receive 24 fighter jets. Turkish F16 to be deployed alongside them making their air force the strongest in East Africa.

Actually their air force might be one of the strongest in Africa. Especially compared with Nigeria who's pilots are only picture posseing flower girls and S.Africa who's pilots are paper pushing desk worriors who can only dream of one day flying

Uganda dropped the ball by taking their time to build a refinery. If Dangote is able to build and make his refinery operational a Ugandan refinery will not be economically viable. They will have to turn to him.

His next move will probably be to start a pipeline to S.Sudan because the North are currently at war and will not be able to oppose it.

Eventually he will also get his hands on Somalian and N.Sudan making his investment extremely wise and profitable.

Through Turkish facilitation, the entry of Al-Hamzat and Al-Amshat into somalia and their residency in Kenya.

Occident countries like the USA will have no choice but to stop the issuance of VISAs for Kenyan passport holders.

Turkey is currently about to deploy Syrian PMC to somalia and W.Africa. These are actually forces from Al-Hamzat and Al-Amshat.

Expect extreme radicalization and violence to result from this.

And guess where their families will be based? Kenya. Why? Because for a few dollars they can buy residency there with no questions asked.

A new camouflage scheme has emerged in Ukraine.

Because of high EW interference there a lot of drones with AI targeting. This cammo defeats AI

Nuclear power plants should be be the focus of African countries. And the best partner is Russia.

Any African country that partners with and builds South Korean, French, or American power plants would be making a mistake and opening themselves to blackmail and bullying by USA

Dangote tells the Kenyan and Ugandan presidents that he plans to build an oil refinery in Tanzania.

This is a major miscalculation on his part as Uganda is planning to build an oil refinery and he can turn their investment into ashes bankrupting the country.

Also Tanzania does NOT see itself as an East African country but as part of Southern Africa and have done just about everything to torpedo E.Africa so I doubt Kenya would be stupid enough to support them .

Whoever finishes construction first wins. The race is on between Dangote and Uganda.

The US is putting up for sale AH64 and UH60M for sale/auction. This is a big opportunity for African countries to get some helicopters at a bargain price

While they might be old for the US they are ideal for African countries because the later operates at higher tempo.

Especially the Blackhawks

Hopefully most African countries learn from the coming crisis that they should stop exporting raw materials and instead locally manufacturer and export finished products.

From cocoa to oil. Even smaller countries like Uganda should not export oil but build local small refinary, they can be profitable by making fertilizer, bitumen, plastics,....

The worst are Kenya who intended to sell their oil to India then buy it back at a premium all the time they have a refinary idle and rotting away.

Some gulf countries are considering recruiting young African men for a potential war with Iran or armed guard PMCs. Just like Russia thousands will join for the money.

Unlike Russia there will be no CIA sponsored fake news stories about dead Africans, rather they will be called heroes fighting for freedom.

Recruiters are headed to Nigeria and Kenya because they have corrupt governments that will look aside for a bribe

Usually they hire N.sudanese because of similar culture but the war there is preventing that

Looks like Iran downed an f22.

Despite the upcoming fuel shortages African countries still don't want to buy fuel from other African countries and Russia.

They'd rather collapse their economies

Dangote must be making a killing with all the shit that's going on

If Iran goes after Gulf countries water desalination plants then it's game over.

The only way these rich middle east countries get water is through desalination all their oil and money means nothing without water.

Actually it's very easy to take out a desalination plant, I wonder why Iran hasn't done that

We can now confirm that 3 US fighter aircraft are down!

Allegedly by friendly fire. That Kuwaiti pilot only needs to down 2 more F15s to become an ace

GreenandGold:
If Somali can secure 24 FJ-17s, Kenya can afford to buy 6 squadrons without breaking the bank.

Jokes aside, I don't even think they can raise $900 even through a generous loan. In fact the Blue Star flag state and the U.S will make sure they don't so that they'll able to have Puntland on the north.

They are being financed by the Saudis.

I think the best response from Kenya should be to not buy any fighter jets at all and instead focus on local production of small arms, cannons, gunpowder, mortars, artillery shells, drone production,... Because jets cost a lot to buy, maintain, and train pilots.

In a hot war they are useless unless a country is locally manufacturing bombs and missiles.


Somalia are completely reliant on turkey and m.e countries.

"Somalia has reportedly finalized a deal with Pakistan for up to 24 JF-17 Block III Multirole Fighters, valued at approximately $900 million, as part of efforts to rebuild the country’s air force.

However, nothing has been officially confirmed, and the claims originate from Turkish media reports. Given Somalia’s current financial constraints, it is unlikely to fund such a purchase independently. If the report proves accurate, external financial backing, potentially from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, or both, would likely be required to support the acquisition."

*Sourced from telegram.*

This means somalia will soon have the most powerful airforce in E.Africa. These jets have aesa networked radars, ability to use PL 15 bvr missiles. They are preparing for a conflict with Somaliland then Kenya.

The Kenyan airforce with their 1960 era F5 jets with doppler radars will be completely outclassed.

Turkey deploys F-16 jets to Somalia.

Somalia now has the most modern and lethal airforce in E.Africa

Really, so those been slaughtered are animals, Christians or Muslims ?

I didn't mean that atrocities aren't happening, I mean if Nigeria dares join BRICS they will burn because it means NOT selling oil in dollars.

US will find it hard to print money as usual because of higher interest rates

kabe1:
This whole Venezuela situation also showed how important it is for weak countries to avoid grandstanding.

Weak countries have to understand their place, and there's nothing wrong with that.

When the US and Trump was accusing Nigeria of Christian genocide, our President and political leaders especially the NSA and Foreign Ministry handled the situation very well and commendably.

Nigeria understands our place, we know we depend on the US economically and Militarily, there was no Grand standing, posturing or signaling.

We understood clearly from the start the US is powerful and we are not and we towed the diplomatic line.

Trumps threats to Nigeria was not about Christian persecution. It was a warning that they should stop considering to join BRICS .

They are protecting the petrodollar.

Why does Kenya need to respond?
As long as they are not given drilling rights here, Kenya has no business responding.

This will eventually blow back in Kenyas face like it's done in the past.

They should be planning for war. And let me tell you how. Because Turkey has a large number of drones. All surface ships should be scrapped. Next start local production of small patrol boats like the swedish raptor. The buy 4 submarines.

The patrol boats would defend the Kenyan coast. Some would be unmanned. The subs would take the fight to turkey sink their fleet in port. Problem solved.

Turkey is planning a large naval deployment to Somalia, possibly permanently.

How will Kenya respond to this?

Si vis pacem, para bellum

Africa needs to up it's game when it comes to fighter jets. Because of the cost the only source is China or Russia

Flying junk.

These jets are way past their expire date.

They are actually a danger to the pilot's.

These UK and US s.op. mercenaries in ukraine have strange tactics. All they do is go behind enemy lines, kill Russians then return. They never try to hold territory, all they do is kill.

African countries should take advantage of the Russian offer to build and operate nuclear power plants. The cost would be too much otherwise. It's a no brainer win win deal

Breaking News: President of the United States Donald Trump warns Nigerian Government to move fast before U.S Troops invade Nigeria.

There goes dangotes refinery into ashes. It was good while it lasted.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Apparently freedom is best brought about by destroying a countries oil production. Venezuela will soon get a nice big serving

Nigeria better surrender fast and I'd not be surprised if they don't learn and continue to buy western weapons.

Kenya Defense Forces.
Army Special forces providing security during the state funeral for Kenya's former prime minister and long time opposition key figure, Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga.

Why use SF for guard duty and crowd control. This is stuff for private security.

Misuse of this personel and gross incompetence by KE as usual, they should be out somewhere killing militants

Ethiopia buys Su35 giving it the most powerful air force in E.Africa.
