Defence Watch Africa is a digital platform dedicated to reporting, analysing, and explaining Africa’s evolving defence and security landscape.
We watch the continent’s frontlines — from the Sahel to the Indian Ocean — tracking how nations prepare, equip, and adapt to meet 21st-century threats.
Founded by Majemite Jaboro, a UK-based journalist and defence analyst with over 15 years of experience working for Felastory Media, Defence Watch Africa delivers a sharp, independent voice on security, geopolitics, and military industry trends.
Our mission is to make defence reporting smarter, deeper, and distinctly African — highlighting innovation, policy shifts, and the growing role of local industry in shaping the continent’s strategic future.
We cover:
- Defence and security policy across Africa
- Counter-terrorism, hybrid warfare, and peacekeeping operations
- The rise of Africa’s defence industries and local manufacturing
- Technology, cyber threats, and intelligence
- Regional alliances, diplomacy, and strategic foresight
With a mix of expert commentary, data-driven reports, and visual storytelling, Defence Watch Africa provides clarity in an age of noise — giving readers insight beyond the battlefield.
