Purpose of armed forces in Farafinna
What are Farafinna armed forces doing to decrease security issues?
Let us first define this and reason from there.
The general functions of the armed forces:
- To continually assess the politico-military environment and the real, potential, or predicted threats
against the state - To deter hostile forces that aspire to collapse and replace the government or seize areas that may
provide economic or political advantages - To contain hostile forces that have commenced offensives against the government
- To neutralize hostile forces that pose a direct armed threat to the state and the government
- To degrade the command and control structures of hostile forces
- To exhaust hostile forces
- To annihilate hostile forces
Establishing the context brings about several questions:
To what degree is each army participating based on the above parameters?
Do they have the means to do so?
What constitutes a hostile force?
What are the predicted threats that a state must consider before, during and after taking armed action?
These entries will be part of a mini-series on armed forces within Farafinna and what they have to consider that is unique to the continent.
This is great post, really wish you would post more on this subject. Do you have videos or presentations? Do you have military experience in Africa? If so please share about it.
Appreciate the post!

There are many ways to fight. Just as one can be armed with a blade, one can be armed with a book. With information. What is a Nation without identity? What is a Nation with the wrong identity? If you don’t know who you are, what kind of security can there really be?
These entries are not about having or not having an identity. They are about military forces, when they are used, how they are used and what is the process behind making decisions to use them. If a person can protect themselves they will.
I’m saying there should be militancy shown with how one’s mind is informed, as well. If one seeks to protect only their body but not their mind, their body is bound to fall, too, anyway.
I get what you’re saying though. I just bought another aspect into it that I think is much needed. A “materialistic approach” for lack of better words, I think, is counterintuitive. There should be a “Black Book” or something that has us on the same page and in alignment with who we really are.
