Top 8 Sub-Saharan, African militaries

This is basically my personal opinion of the military strength of Africa. I have left out Libya, Tunisia, South Africa, Algeria, Egypt and Morocco because they own the top 10 by themselves. They are the cream of Africa in terms of economy and therefore military. In other terms they are different to the rest of Africa. I thought of leaving out Nigeria but that would be like leaving out America if this was a world top 10 lol.
If you have a problem with the music (that I had nothing to do with the creation) then please tell me or simply have a word with youtube to block it. And as for any pictures then I will happily remove them if you own them.

ahahahh so funny where is senegal....ivory coast.....only english africa in this shit video

[Lordangers]

@zaer83 Ivory coast just had a civil war and they needed French help to get rid of Gbagbo rebels. Senegal I will consider next time. However Angola/Eritrea/Ethiopia/Sudan speak local or portugese dialects, not english

take eritrea of this list, it shouldnt be there eritrea is on its own league. as long as the rest of africa dont have an completly independent military like eritrea they are no match for eri. plus eritrea doesnt care weather its military is number one or zero, as eritreans are peace loving people eritrea has experienced brutal wars in the past. war is not a game and an army is not built for a competition, its is there to protect the nation,well that is what eritrea believes.

@taflanzerigan Eritrea does not have an independant army. The only country on Africa with western independance level is S.Africa. Eritrea buys small arms from Italy, tanks from Belarus, jets from Russia and only makes Ak-47 rounds. Eritrea has started all the previous wars it has engaged in (Ethiopia, Djibouti and Yemen). You're people may be peace-loving but you're leaders are war mongerers.

@Lordangers Eritrea never started anywar, it was ethiopia that OFFICIALLY declared war on eritrea,FACT themidget prime minster meles said it himself, even so eritrea still decided to resolve the situation by dialoge but when te refused they had to be taught a lesson again, eritrea was simply defending itself as it has always done and Through out the history of eritrea you would actually see that eritreas leaders are peace loving people,they dont belive in military solutions, its the last option

[Lordangers]

@taflanzerigan Lol when you say officially you mean declared. You attacked first, you did it before you declared war (bit cowardly but hey you needed all the help you could get). Also how did the conflict with Yemen start? If Djibouti (a smaller neighbour who you picked on) attacked you, why were you're trenches in Djibouti?

My opinion on this video though, is that Uganda should perhaps outrank Zimbabwe. And the Angola, Kenya, Sudan, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Eritrea are just about even. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. Nigeria for example, has a relatively poorly equipped airforce but a relatively strong army and navy. Kenya's is well trained but its airforce still uses F5s. Rumor has it though, that it has acquired a large number of f-15s and Su-30s. Sudan has the largest military industrial complex.

@tegadalay1 Al-shabab is an al-qaeda affiliate. To many, it is the same organization. I'm not too big on conspiracy theories or hearsay. So if you want to lend credence to your claims you'll have to provide links to those sources(Eritrean or otherwise).....well....I'll give you credit for providing the article on Donald Rumsfeld in Eritrea.

@tegadalay1 "Eritrea Expected to be Fastest Growing Economy in 2011". The journalist who wrote that was irrationally bullish on Eritrea's prospects in 2011. My sources(IMF) indicate that Eritrea's economy grew by about 2.2 percent in 2010. Far less than Congo's at 9%. I wouldn't expect a drastic change in 2011, unless unbeknown st to the rest of the world, Eritrea struck black gold last year.

@tegadalay1 And contrary to your beliefs my country's independence was not handed to her on a silver platter. Numerous resistance movements existed prior to independence, that wreaked havoc on the settler community prior to independence. I will admit that that other forces were at play such as US demands that Europe give up their colonies after WW2. Nonetheless, Eritrea was not the only country that fought for its independence and I dare say did not face an adversary as competent as the UK was.
