Not to mention their economy is miles ahead of almost every other African country. Perhaps with the exception of South Africa.

South africas economy is a lot larger than egypts, Egypt does spend 3.6% of its GDP on the military, compared to 1.7% for south africa.

Egypt has the advantage of being involved in wars aginast powerful nations wich also gives them a type of training.

S.Africa and Egypt.

S.Africa a bit stronger in military and economy than Egypt.
But Politically, Egypt is much powerfull than S.Africa.

But how long has it been since the last war? i believe the egyptian military is conscription, so probably none if any of the current serving soldiers have experience fighting actual wars.

I know but what I am saying is the people have learned what to do and not to do.

I think we're pretty well agreed that the power ranking for Africa would probably be like this:
1.) Egypt
2.) South Africa
3.) Nigeria

Any disagreement on that?

Darcia · December 5th, 2004

Not realy I think that basicly sums it all up.

godofthunder9010 · December 5th, 2004

I have to ask ... who would #4 be?? 5? 6? etc.

Darcia · December 5th, 2004

WEll I would think Congo, Libya, Morroco would all be in the list somewhere, However I doubt it would be 4,5, and 6.
