  • Countering Terrorism in East Africa: the U.S
    Countering Terrorism in East Africa: The U.S. Response Lauren Ploch Analyst in African Affairs November 3, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41473 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Countering Terrorism in East Africa: The U.S. Response Summary The United States government has implemented a range of programs to counter violent extremist threats in East Africa in response to Al Qaeda’s bombing of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998 and subsequent transnational terrorist activity in the region. These programs include regional and bilateral efforts, both military and civilian. The programs seek to build regional intelligence, military, law enforcement, and judicial capacities; strengthen aviation, port, and border security; stem the flow of terrorist financing; and counter the spread of extremist ideologies. Current U.S.-led regional counterterrorism efforts include the State Department’s East Africa Regional Strategic Initiative (EARSI) and the U.S. military’s Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), part of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). The United States has also provided significant assistance in support of the African Union’s (AU) peace operations in Somalia, where the country’s nascent security forces and AU peacekeepers face a complex insurgency waged by, among others, Al Shabaab, a local group linked to Al Qaeda that often resorts to terrorist tactics. The State Department reports that both Al Qaeda and Al Shabaab pose serious terrorist threats to the United States and U.S. interests in the region. Evidence of linkages between Al Shabaab and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, across the Gulf of Aden in Yemen, highlight another regional dimension of the threat posed by violent extremists in the area.

  • The SA Air Force: Mandate, Activities, Main Equipment and Key Personalities
    Chapter 10 The SA Air Force: mandate, activities, main equipment and key personalities The SA Air Force (SAAF) is the second-oldest air force in the world. It was founded in 1920 by Sir Pierre van Ryneveld, a pioneer of aviation in South Africa. The world’s oldest air force, the Royal Air Force, was established two years previously, partly at the instigation of General Jan Smuts, then a member of the British War Cabinet. Australia’s Royal Australian Air Force is the third oldest and was also established in 1920. The SAAF is the second-most senior service in the SANDF. What is the mandate of the SAAF? To provide and manage the air defence capability of the Department of Defence on behalf of the DoD, thereby participating in the service to ensure: • The sovereignty and protection of the Republic's territorial integrity. • Compliance with the international obligations of the Republic to international bodies and states. In plainer language, the SAAF exists to defend South Africa’s airspace from unfriendly or unauthorised incursion, to support its sister services and to support government’s foreign and domestic policies. Vision The South African Air Force intends achieving the following ten strategic objectives by 2012: Declaration 1 The SA Air Force is able to maintain an affordable and sustainable balance between the structural elements of air power: Equipment, People, Doctrine – each element developed to its full potential and employed with maximum efficiency. Declaration 2 It can conduct all operations entrusted to it with an exceptional degree of dependability and skill. Declaration 3 It can afford its force design, sustain all required force preparation and force employment, and maintain high standards of aviation safety.

  • Airpower in the Union of South Africa's First World War Campaign In
    Historia 62, 2, November 2017, pp 1-26 Airpower in the Union of South Africa’s First World War campaign in German South West Africa Antonio Garcia* Abstract During the Great War, aircraft were used primarily for reconnaissance and artillery spotting. The Union of South Africa’s First World War campaign in German South West Africa (GSWA) allowed for South Africa’s first employment of military aeroplanes in conventional warfare. The creation and employment of the South African Aviation Corps (SAAC) within the Union Defence Force (UDF) provided ground forces with a substantial force multiplier in terms of forward reconnaissance. The aerial reconnaissance allowed General Louis Botha and his subordinate commanders to gain a better understanding of the tactical picture and facilitated the battle concept. This paper discusses the role and impact of aerial operations during the GSWA campaign. The campaign was characterised by sweeping envelopments which were executed by the Union’s commandos. During the latter part of the campaign aeroplanes provided the UDF with intelligence in terms of the location and concentration of German forces, which assisted in their final encirclement. Keywords: German South West African campaign; Union Defence Force; airpower; First World War. Opsomming Gedurende die Eerste Wêreldoorlog was vliegtuie hoofsaaklik gebruik vir verkenningsdoeleindes, en om vuurleiding te gee vir artillerie. Die eerste keer wat die Unie van Suid-Afrika militêre vliegtuie aangewend het in ʼn konvensionele rol, was tydens die veldtog in Duits Suidwes-Afrika (DSWA). Die stigting en operasionele aanwending van die Suid-Afrikaanse Vliegkorps, as deel van die Unieverdedigingsmag (UVM), het die magstruktuur en aanwending van die Suid-Afrikaanse troepe ter velde positief beïnvloed, veral in terme van die vergroting van die operasionele verkenningsektor.

  • U.S. - SOUTH AFRICAN RELATIONS: SOME STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS
    u.s. - SOUTH AFRICAN RELATIONS: SOME STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS By Jennifer Davis The Africa Fund l64 Madison Avenue New York, N.Y. 10016 (Prepared for the Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the African Studies Association, Denver, Colorado, 3-6 November 1971.) U.S. Strategic Support for South Africa I must begin with the confession that like the South Africans themselves, I have found it impossible to stay entirely within South African borders in considering the nature and extent of U.S. strategic support for South Africa. There has been much recent talk about the Vorster regime's accelerating thrust into independent Africa, but even before she embarked on this tentative foray into Africa, South Africa had built a close-knit all1- . ance with the other two white-supremacist governments of Portugal and Rhodesia and had created a solid Southern Bloc, aptly dubbed by some "the unholy alliance. 1I This bloc in­ volves tremendous economic and military co-operation. There is heavy South African cor­ porate investment in Angola and Mozambique and the South Africans and Portuguese have em­ barked jOintly on two major hydro-electric schemes - Kunene on the West, Cabora Bassa in the East - both schemes clearly designed to consolidate white control of the areas. South Africa is determined to maintain the Portuguese presence in Africa, for if colonial rule collapses in Angola and Mozambique, South Africa will have a huge difficult horseshoe bor­ der to defend. Thus, while both Portugal and South Africa normally maintain tightlipped silence about the extent of their military co-operation, it is well known that South Afri­ can helicopters and airplanes have frequently been involved in Angola in missions involv­ ing the use of napalm and defoliants.

  • Arms-R-Us: South America Goes Shopping a WOLA Report on South American Defense Expenditures
    Arms-R-Us: South America Goes Shopping A WOLA Report on South American Defense Expenditures For many years national defense budgets remained virtually unchanged in South America, but that seems to be changing quickly. Reports are surfacing of significant new arms purchases by Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Chile, and Colombia, among others—most of whom are buying from the US, Russia, France and Brazil. Whether or not you call it an arms race, the increase is substantial; “in 2008 the 12 South American countries together channeled more than $50 billion into military expenditures, about 30 percent more than in 2007.”1 This background paper will address who is in the market and for what—both buyers and sellers of weapons—and the context in which these transactions are taking place. This is by no means an exhaustive report. Unfortunately, information on South America’s arms purchases is difficult to find and even more difficult to verify. More information is available on some countries than others, and the information that does exist is often vague. Many of the details about defense spending are not coming from governments or other official sources, but rather from a variety of media outlets and analysts. This is indicative of a related problem: a lack of transparency and diplomatic communication. It is possible that many of the agreements for loans and arms purchases that the press reports may not be completed. But without official public information, these reports are often the first indicators of what is taking place. Since a significant change appears to be underway, this article reflects upon what has been reported from official and unofficial sources and the disconcerting security environment in which countries feel compelled to buy arms.

  • Elections, Politics and External Involvement in Djibouti
    Institute for Security Studies Situation Report Date issued: 14 April 2011 Author: Berouk Mesfin Distribution: General Contact: [email protected] Elections, politics and external involvement in Djibouti Introduction This situation report continues the research project on regional politics and security in the Horn of Africa conducted by the Institute for Security Studies.1 While it follows in the footsteps of a 2008 situation report that was concerned primarily with the border dispute between Djibouti and Eritrea,2 the current report is more concerned with the prevailing internal political situation in Djibouti and the conduct of the country’s April 2011 presidential elections.3 The first part provides a brief overview of the political and electoral history of Djibouti. The second gives the legal framework for the conduct of elections and then examines the preparations for the April 2011 presidential elections and the results. It also surveys the most salient features of Djibouti’s party system, focusing principally on the alignment of existing political parties. Part three considers the build-up to the April 2011 presidential elections, including constitutional amendments, the mysterious deaths of some senior officials, the exaggeration of the role played by Abdurahman Boreh, and the sudden outbreak of public protests. The fourth part describes the mainly military involvement of Eritrea, the United States (US) and France in Djibouti. The principal sources of data used in the report are books, journal articles, unpublished reports and media publications. In order to strengthen aspects of the limited data that was available the author has used data collected during his many visits to Djibouti between 2008 and 2010.4 During these visits, he interacted with and interviewed many individuals who provided background and specific information in a credible manner.

The region has experienced armed conflicts, civil wars, rebellion, drought and famine. Yet, at the same time, there is also an emerging ambition among a number of African states to handle security issues on the continent independently. Such ambitions have fostered a variety of military capacity building programmes supported by external donors. This report explores how Denmark up until now has sought to contribute to strengthening political and military security in East Africa.

  • The Imperial Dimension of Britain's War in the Air, 1914-1918
    THE DOMINION OF THE AIR The Dominion of the Air: the Imperial dimension of Britain’s war in the air, 1914-1918 MICHAEL MOLKENTIN University of New South Wales Canberra Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT It is now well established in the historical literature of the First World War that manpower and materiel, provided by the colonies and self-governing dominions, figured importantly in Britain’s war effort. One area, however, in which the war’s imperial dimension has yet to be properly analysed, is the air war – perhaps the very epitome of the ‘total war’ struggle that British society faced between 1914-18. This article evaluates the imperial contribution to Britain’s war in the air. Besides revealing the considerable extent of empire involvement in the British flying services, it demonstrates something of the distinct and nuanced relationships that colonial authorities had with London, and the way this shaped their respective involvement in the empire’s war effort. When 2nd Lieutenant Eric Dibbs of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) arrived in France for his first operational posting in June 1917, he discovered that many of his new colleagues hailed from Britain’s colonial settler societies. ‘Essentially an Empire unit’, is how he described the squadron. ‘We had in it three Australians, a number of Canadians, two South Africans, a Newfoundlander, as well as representatives of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales’.
