As a Ugandan, I honestly envy Rwanda. 🇷🇼 President @PaulKagame knows how to market his country, attract global opportunities, and put Rwanda on the world map.
Congratulations to Rwanda on securing the opportunity to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix! 🏎️👏
Meanwhile, Uganda should be asking itself: How can we attract such opportunities instead of watching our neighbours take the lead? 🇺🇬
H.E Kagame cautioned Tshisekedi not to rely on mercenaries because they'll make the situation worse for him.
He refused to listen to the General and instead believed Holywood propaganda.....first bunch of mercenaries were captured like rats, the second are dying like insects. 🤦♂️

@Ramandeep_Bajwa@0xkitng You’re wrong 😂😆, maybe, i mean maybe but not to some African countries that i know.. for those countries forces , on what you just mentioned add Resilience 😂
I will die on the hill that air support has been the backbone of most Western military operations. Take away effective air support, and the capability gap between Western militaries and many African militaries becomes considerably narrower.

@ReutersAfrica These are not forces. These are mercenaries and they are hired to kill. What else did you expect them to receive. To be served champagne or bullets
Some F1 drivers on rumous of a Grand Prix in Rwanda.
Lewis: "I haven't really got any news for you. I saw something on people posting online, but I've always said that we need to have a Grand Prix in Africa."
George: "I would be very excited if these rumours were to come true. Africa is the only continent we don't race on, and it's about time we had a race there."
Max: "I really hope that it can be pushed through. We have to wait to see if it's all going to go through, but I think we're all very excited if that would happen."

Eine offizielle Bekanntgabe steht zwar noch aus, soll aber nach Angaben der Quellen bereits in der kommenden Woche in der Hauptstadt Kigali erfolgen. 🚨
It seems like M23 fighters are nolonger taking Western mercenaries as prisoners in Eastern DRC conflict.
The DRC hired mercenaries known as Blackwater headed by American former US Nevy SEAL, Erik Prince are right now dying like insects.
🚨 Tim Kennedy has reportedly been SHOT multiple times during a mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
“Tim Kennedy was part of a three-man squad that came under fire during an ambush in Central Africa. The attack took place on September 17, when Kennedy's element came under fire. Throughout the ambush, Kennedy sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Kennedy was medevaced back to the United States for medical treatment, where he remains in stable condition.”
“Lance Corporal Justin Conaglen, a former elite New Zealand SAS member, was tragically killed during the altercation.”
(Per @YahooNews )
Reports say former Green Beret and UFC fighter Tim Kennedy was wounded last month in the Congo, taking multiple gunshot wounds while working a private security contract.
Accounts circulating on social media claim the hit happened in an ambush around mid-September, that a tourniquet stayed on for more than five hours during an evacuation that took about eight, and that the injuries were serious enough for him to be medevaced back to the United States, with one leg at risk.
Former New Zealand SAS soldier Justin Conaglen was reportedly killed in the same incident, and a third man was also said to be wounded. New Zealand has opened an investigation into Conaglen’s death.
Some of the accounts tie the work to an American private military firm associated with Erik Prince.
@freyntje Mister @freyntje, your sarcasm is misplaced.
A "global" ranking excludes an entire continent, yet #Kigali is what you find laughable? That says more about your blind spots than about Kigali. 🤷♂️
