AFRICOM and Military Aide to Zambia, and the Regional Concerns
State House and It’s Government never gives you the news. When we get it from third-party sources, they come running “fake news, propaganda and engage in staging clarifications”
The cure to misinformation is more information! The cure to fight against propaganda is to release the truth.
Below is another report on Zambia’s misguided priorities and the country’s fraternisation with Africom, a US combatant unit, that has brought regional concerns.
So apa we will see Zimbabwe go to Russia to buy similar air defence assets! The arms race is on, a race that may destabilise the region or become a pawn for superpowers.
The U.S. has approved the sale of military helicopters to Zambia, valued at $100 million. They say the sale is part of the ongoing foreign military defense cooperation between the two countries.
The helicopters will be used for regional security, peacekeeping, disaster response, and other humanitarian missions. Similar helicopters are operational in over 40 nations, including the US, Norway, Japan, and Guatemala. #DWAfrica
No comment to the article. These are military issues and highly classified and confidential.
So what, Africans always rely on USA and Europe and Asia. When you are not in power you call those in power puppets, when of the west, you come into power you also go running to the west or the east When African leaders face domestic problems, be it economic or political, if the west does not respond they cry foul. When all is well they condemn the west for being imperialists. Remember what happened in Rwanda!
Do we no need these Helicopers? They have a multipurpose use. How much did PF spend on One plane that would have been used by one person and his friends? Mwamba sometimes I wonder who trained you. You are so petty.
Mwamba is a self-taught pathetic propagandist. The only paper he has is a seminary attendance one from the Roman Catholic where they chased him. That is why he clings to the ambassador title cause it’s the only title ever in his pathetic life….bakazi nabo how do you marry such low down nincompoops????
We have every right to defend ourselves against external forces there it is just right that we are fully prepared and equipped for that. Mwamba can’t understand because to him even buying a sausage on the streets is politics.
What is wrong buying Helicopters from the US? Zimbabwe bought military grade helicopter from Russia and paraded them for everyone to see. Had we acquired those helicopters from Chile or Peru, there would be no eye brows raised. Zambia should get MGM-140 ATACMS and the FGM-148 Javelin ant tank missiles next time. We are a sovereign state. We need no permission from anyone.
