Retired Ugandan General David Sejusa has warned that if Iran gives up its 440 kg of enriched uranium, either by handing it over or diluting it, it could face the same fate as Libya and Iraq.
Sejusa said Iran's survival depends on its own military strength, not in agreements or security guarantees from the United States.
#Update: Ethiopia Seeks to Become a Major Military Air Power as It Dominates Commercial Civil Aviation.
Ethiopia is reportedly negotiating a deal to acquire seven French-made Rafale fighter jets and accompanying military systems, as Addis Ababa pursues an ambitious military modernization program aimed at establishing the country as a major air power in Africa.
Already a dominant force in African commercial aviation through Ethiopian Airlines, Ethiopia now appears determined to translate its civilian aviation prominence into military air superiority.
The reported negotiations follow after Addis Ababa recently took delivery of 12 Russian-made Su-35 fighter jets, a development that significantly strengthened its combat aviation capabilities and underlined its growing ambitions to become one of the continent’s leading military air powers.

Il était le garde du corps de Thomas Sankara. Une panne de moto lui a sauvé la vie.
15 octobre 1987, Ouagadougou. Famoro Ouattara, sergent-chef au physique de colosse, dirige la sécurité du président Sankara.
Cet après-midi-là, sa moto tombe en panne au rond-point des Nations unies. Pendant qu’il la fait réparer, il entend les rafales venues du Conseil de l’Entente.
Thomas Sankara vient d’être abattu, avec douze de ses compagnons.
Le colosse se cache une nuit à l’ambassade de Cuba. Il est ensuite arrêté et passe 20 mois en détention. Son père meurt pendant qu’il est enfermé.
Puis il se reconstruit. L’ancien garde du corps du président devient maire de Mangodara, dans le sud-ouest du Burkina.
34 ans plus tard, au procès, l’élu s’effondre en larmes devant le juge. Sa phrase glace la salle :
« Nous avons failli à notre mission. »
Sankara savait qu’il était menacé. Mais il a toujours refusé que sa garde prenne les armes contre Blaise Compaoré, son ami.
Certains hommes survivent à l’histoire. Ils n’en guérissent jamais.

Never give up in life. This guy was a rebel commander with the LRA and 2nd in command to Joseph Kony but he surrendered to government during the peace talks. He later went back to school emerging as the best candidate in S6 that year in the whole country.
He recently graduated top of his class with a first class law degree officially becoming the first true legal correspondent in Uganda with NBS TV. Omwana Ndam Genius 🙌
