After reading the latest round of cyber news, I can confirm that South Africa has successfully migrated from a developing economy to a production CTF environment.

So frustrating… This afternoon, the SANDF was meant to take part in an operation in the Bishop Lavis SAPS precinct. Only four SAPS members reportedly showed up. The rest was explained away with excuses about leave, sick leave etc. This forms part of scores of complaints I have received from SANDF members who want to work, but are increasingly frustrated by some station SAPS members in known gang areas. They describe certain members as lackadaisical, haphazard or plainly not interested in working. I have also received serious allegations that some members tip off gang members before operations take place. I have already reported this to the relevant persons. This is one of the reasons why Operation Prosper is not prosperous. IC

French President Macron can try and move away from France's colonial history in Africa, but France still carries that baggage. Same for US treating Africa as a Cold War chessboard. It will take generations before that can be forgotten. That's reality. aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/10…

There was a time when we didnt count the # of US Ambassadors in Africa we had, but rather the # of those Ambassadors who actually came from the Africa Bureau and understood the continent versus interlopers from NEA just looking for a title. No More. theafricareport.com/415891/t…

Camara may have led the country in the wrong direction, strategically speaking, but he undoubtedly was a patriot who didn't want to see the country fall to jihadists.

China isn't a model for Africa for the same reason that the EU isn't. Africa is its own unique place with its own complexities. These profs saying Africa must conform to external models make me tired 😩 African solutions pls

You can’t download a pirated movie using starlink, you’ll get a mail before you finish downloading it but terrorists are using starlink to coordinate attacks while nothing happens. Okay

This was last year in Southern Niger, near Nigeria's border. These "Islamic Jihadists" have diesel generators, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cash, and Starlink terminals. Every kb of data sent on a Starlink network is traceable and identifiable, and Starlink itself is a US military project. So please explain where semi-literate, "Caliphate-seeking Jihadists" obtained and learned how to use all this equipment; and how they coordinate their operation using internet terminals controlled by the US military, which somehow never shut them down and allowed them keep running even though they definitely knew what they were being used for! And you're supposed to believe that this is some sort of organic religious movement that somehow took some of the world's poorest people in some desolate part of the Sahel - people who cook with firewood and dry cow dung, and who have never handled N15,000 before in their lives - and magically earned them the $40,000 minimum you need to buy the equipment in these pictures; then they somehow learned how to use all these things that they had never seen before by reepating "Allahu Akbar!" 3 times while turning in a circle. At some point you have to look at the material facts of the matter, then look at yourself in a mirror and answer the question, "Am I an absolute dickhead? Am I really this stupid?"

Considering a thread on capabilities planned in the 96 white paper, verses current stocks and reassessed requirements. Currently the SAAF sees a requirement for minimum 16 medium tactical airlifters, the role which the C390 will fill. Personally I think 2x squadrons of 12 is more appropriate. Regarding helicopters, the 96 WP requirement was 94 medium weight rotary platforms. Currently there are 39 oryx airframes, 2 written off, one stuck in Goma and 4-8 serviceable on any given day. But the revised requirement is 88. That's not heavy lift, light utility or dedicated naval SAR platforms, that's just the medium category that would do general utility, troop transport and medical evacuation. Special forces have their own airlift requirements for both rotary and fixed wing.

The U.S. expressed that it is deeply disappointed by Rwanda’s continued escalation of the conflict, which constitutes a direct violation of its obligations under the Washington Accords. The U.S has reiterated its call for the immediate withdrawal of Rwandan troops. The sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence of the DRC must be respected.

Pan Africanist but you hardly mention Sudan's war like the Iran war. Islamist jihadists terrorize innocent Africans but your concern is justifying Russia's war on Ukraine. Most Africans have very poor living standards but you rather romanticize China invading Taiwan. Clowns 😂

South Africa is finally waking up to the major asset they've had all along.. smart people in the defense industry. 🇿🇦🔫💣

Infiltration rwandaise en France : Une note blanche de la DGSI (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Intérieure) révèle qu’un interprète d’origine rwandaise, employé par l’OFPRA (Office français de protection des réfugiés et apatrides), travaillait en réalité pour les services de renseignement rwandais (type DMI – Directorate of Military Intelligence). Alors qu’il était chargé d’interpréter lors des entretiens de demande d’asile en France, cet homme a utilisé sa position officielle comme couverture pour mener des missions d’espionnage commandées directement par Kigali. Grâce à son poste d’interprète à l’OFPRA, il avait accès à des informations sensibles sur les demandeurs d’asile (notamment ceux originaires de la région des Grands Lacs : RDC, Burundi, Rwanda). Il pouvait ainsi identifier, surveiller ou recueillir des renseignements sur des opposants rwandais en exil, des réfugiés congolais ou burundais, et transmettre ces informations à Kigali. Cette pénétration des services rwandais au sein d’une institution française clé en matière d’asile est un événement d'une extrême gravité. Il pose de sérieuses questions sur la fiabilité des interprètes à l’OFPRA, surtout pour les langues de la région des Grands Lacs (kinyarwanda, swahili, français avec accent rwandais, etc.). Les demandeurs d’asile originaires de RDC ou opposants au régime de Paul Kagame pouvaient être particulièrement exposés : leurs déclarations, identités, lieux de résidence ou motifs de fuite risquaient d’être transmis à Kigali, avec des risques de représailles (menaces, enlèvements ou pressions sur les familles restées au pays). Dans ce type de registre, il y aurait beaucoup à dire sur l’instrumentalisation de la justice française, ainsi que sur le détournement de l’aide juridictionnelle. La technique qui consiste à enrôler des centaines de parties civiles pour capter parfois plusieurs millions d’euros financés par le contribuable français est bien connue. Ainsi, l’accusation dispose de moyens considérables — 4 à 5 millions d’euros — tandis que la défense doit souvent se contenter de 15 000 ou 20 000 euros. Les droits de la défense sont dès lors bafoués. Il conviendrait d’enquêter sur les éventuelles facturations des associations aux cabinets d’avocats chargés de porter la voix du régime de Kigali à travers la représentation de ces centaines de parties civiles, et de déterminer si les circuits par lesquels transite l’aide juridictionnelle ne servent pas, en réalité, à financer des opérations d’influence rwandaises judiciarisées.
