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

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

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 thathuh

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

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.
Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Tinfoil: 11:46pm On Feb 21
"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.

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

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?

These jets are way past their expire date.

They are actually a danger to the pilot's.

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

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.

Those are not ex military, but hopeless jobless regular youth driven out of the country by tough circumstances created by the corrupt govt,
Basically accepted their fate as Cannon fodder because of the high pay
Kenyan soldiers are well paid, but they recruit a small number each year, many are rejected.
I doubt they are well paid enough to resist a $3000 a month paycheck. Not even the Nigerian army gets paid that much.

Russia is going to be spoilt for choice with the number of Africans willing to fight for them. The money is just too good.

They havOnly a fantasy of one day Uniting all Somalis in the horn of Africa.


-------

And last
Brother those fantasies are what wars are fought over, just like Armenia and Azerbaijan, Thailand and Cambodia,....

I think I didn't explain myself well. The problem is not Somalia it's Turkey. They are not selling anything to Somalia they are gifting them. Why? Oil and gas. There is nothing Kenya can offer them that can be more beneficial than the billions of dollars they stand to make.

What is being played is a very good long term game by Turkish intelligence to lure Kenya into laxity.

That conflict is inevitable. Kenya needs an ally that hates turkey and would be willing to fight them by proxy. Like Russia.
