EDITORIAL: Koos Kotze Welcome to our first edition of the Africa Police Journal. It is our desire to reach out and establish a journal for African Police Forces which is independent and free of charge enabling members to reach out to each other. Policing in Africa is very different from the rest of the world. We face challenges which are unique and beyond the understanding of our former colonial masters who created most if not all of the current Police Forces so many decades ago. As an example, we think of witchcraft murders which happen frequently in Africa's rural areas. Or tribal incidents / insurrections because of a lack of respect showed towards the other tribe (which may be anything from wedding gifts to the grazing of cattle). These things are part and parcel of the everyday life of an African policeman and something no other policeman in the world deals with. It makes us unique. I am of the opinion that Africa's problems must be solved by Africans and only Africans! We have the knowledge and experience to do so and I utterly fail to understand why overpaid European consultants are necessary since they have no knowledge which we do not have already amongst our own policemen. Simply, we may need technical expertise (very debateable for we are world leaders in many criminal forensic sciences already) but not leadership from outside. This is a recurring thought which I put in my books Mean Streets - Life in the Apartheid Police and The Egg Breakers - Counter Terrorism in Sub Saharan Africa. For us an armed Police Force is as common as daybreak but for the European consultants that may be extraordinary and something they have no knowledge off. Thus I ask again, why bother with them? Are they worth the money or effort? I would like to hear your opinion on this. The object of this eMagazine is not to provide a platform for silly complaints, or political or religious statements designed to anger everyone else but the writer thereof... it is always easy to criticise and I have a problem with those who not at the same time provide the answer or at least a few ideas to move forward. Such critical comments are academic garbage which is of no value to us. It is neither useful nor
8
wanted. I reserve the right to reject any such articles without entering in correspondence about my decision. As background, this eMagazine is a logical consequence of a South African publication called eNongqai where the rich history of the now defunct South African Police Force is collected for the descendants to decide upon. As with that eMagazine the same principles will be applied here. That is to become the first authority on African Police Forces for foreigners and to increase the exposure of the various Forces. It is also clear to me that this eMagazine is needed to tell the story behind the newsreels and to establish the voice of the African police officer for all to read. I dare say that public relations are not a strong point for African Police Forces and thus their reputations suffered accordingly. Unnecessary, for I have travelled in many African countries and I was almost always treated correctly by the police. The image of corrupt and violent Forces is mostly untrue in magnitude though we will not shut our eyes for the obvious problems we do have. I invite you then, please support us by sending your stories for publication and spreading the word amongst friends and colleagues. All are welcome and we look forward to add more readers to our contributors list. For that purposes we created a Facebook page called POLICE FOR AFRICA (https://www.facebook.com/groups/142801025922617/)
which
you
are
most
welcome to join. A dedicated Internet Page will soon follow and we will keep you up to date. We will also review books which are of interest to the police official in Africa and promote the interests of the various Forces. God bless. Koos Kotze Editor

POLICE FOR AFRICA by Hennie Heymans: “In Africa my beginning, in Africa my end.” It is indeed a great privilege to be involved in the first journal of the Africa Police Institute. We are all Africans ... of various languages, various shades of colour, different cultures and different religion, but: But in this diversity we have a common bond which is the love for our continent. We are proud to be Africans. Out of Africa there is also always something new, in this case the on-line journal of the Africa Police Institute. We are also the publishers of the eNongqai, a publication focussing on the history of Southern Africa’s police, defence and national history from 1652 right up to 1994 when the “new” South Africa was established. We also publish The Uloliwe primarily focussed on railways and the history of railways in Southern Africa. With the Diaspora of many South African’s we find them all over Africa as policemen, security contractors and engine drivers. In the eNongqai we focus on history. We prefer not to discuss contemporaneous police matters in the eNongqai, but only history in an honest, just and objective fashion. Like all other Africans we have made mistakes but we have found Africans to be forgiving and friendly people. Some of our forbearers are from Europe who came to Africa more than 300 years ago and today we find ourselves here as “white” Africans. Some people call us “Boers”. Boer means “farmer” we came to the south of Africa to establish a refreshment station for the Dutch India Company who were sailing from Holland to the Far East in search of spices and trade. For nearly 400 years we have been farming and feeding the nation. We also find Chinese, Indians and Arabs who are Africans. Be it as it may, we are all on this continent and we are all proud of our achievements since time immemorial. It is only fitting that we mention that South African Police Services General Mangwashi Victoria “Riah” Phiyega is the first “full” general of any force in Southern Africa! We don’t know of any woman in Africa who has been a ‘full’ general before. She is the fourth national police commissioner and the first woman to hold this post.
10
Our first National Commissioner of the new South African Police Service (SAPS) was General George Fivaz who was appointed by the then president, Mr Nelson R Mandela. He was followed by Mr Jacki Selebi and by General B Cele. General Cele was the first Black person in the SAPS to hold the rank of full “General”. * Both Selebi & Cele was subsequently removed from the posts for legal reasons. (Editor). General “Riah” Phiyega is not a professional policeperson but she is a trained social worker which is important. Social workers can be seen a community experts and they know the dynamics of society. She certainly has a very impressive curriculum vitae as you will see. I don’t envy her in this post for it is not easy! However she needs all the loyalty and the support of each and every person in South Africa – police and public alike. She probably does not know our police culture or our police traditions, but what I have seen is that she has the character and inner strength for the daunting task that lies ahead. We hope that she will use all her energy to turn the South African Police Service into a symbol of decency, a police service of South Africa serving and protecting with pride. On the subject of police women; I have found that the Indian Police Service also started with women in their police service during 1972 and in India a lady has risen to general rank – breaking into a new frontier for women! We invite our friends all over Africa to become involved and to act as ambassadors for their respective countries.

"OUT OF AFRICA" phrase in use since ancient Greece by Hillary Mayell for National Geographic News: February 19, 2003 (via HBH) Out of Africa. The phrase is everywhere; used to title movies, books, magazine articles, art exhibits, conferences, lectures, and travel tours. It's used as shorthand in newspaper headlines and to describe anthropological and medical theories related to Africa. But where did it come from? Somewhat surprisingly, the phrase stems from an ancient Greek proverb. "There is always something new coming out of Africa," wrote Aristotle more than 2,300 years ago in his book on natural history. Writing in The Journal of African History, Harvey Feinberg and Joseph B. Solodow trace the history and meaning of the proverb from its ancient beginnings to contemporary usage. "It's a phrase even Africanists don't know the origin of, so we were interested in tracing how it got from the ancient world to our world," said Feinberg, who teaches African history at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU). Over the millennia, the meaning of "Out of Africa" has changed significantly. "The Greek word that means 'new' had a different connotation than it does today," said Solodow, a professor of foreign languages at SCSU. "For us, if we see a product advertised as 'New and Improved', we don't need the word improved to gather the right meaning. For the ancient Greeks, and Latins as well, the word 'new' tended to have negative connotations, associated with something strange or undesirable." Tracking a proverb through History The earliest reference the researchers found is from the Greek comic poet Anaxilas, who wrote in the mid-4th century B.C. "It's not a direct reference, but the proverb is clearly alluded to in his plays, suggesting that it was common knowledge to his audience," said Solodow. 12
Aristotle, (384 to 322 B.C.), referred to the proverb in two of his books, Historia Animalium and Generatione Animalium, to explain the wild mĂŠlange of animals in Africa. He wrote that many of the animals unique to Africa were strange hybrids, suggesting that the lack of water forced the animals to meet at watering holes where they mated indiscriminately with one another. However, Pliny the Elder, a Roman statesman and scholar who lived from 23 to 79 A.D., is credited with coining the phrase in current reference books like Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. In his book on natural history, Historia Naturalis, Pliny wrote that the proverb "Africa is always producing something new" was commonly used in Greece when referring to Africa's wildlife. The proverb's meaning of strange hybrid animals was garbled when scribes copied a collection of proverbs compiled by the Greek scholar Zenobius, (2nd century A.D.). The proverb was suddenly transformed into "Africa is always producing something evil." "Whoever was copying the proverbs from Zenobius could have just changed the word to make the meaning stronger, or there could simply have been a transcription error," said Solodow. "The Greek words for good and evil, kainon and kakon, might have looked similar." Erasmus, a prominent Dutch theologian and scholar, included the phrase in his collection of proverbs, Adagia. In this work, the proverb reverted to the Greek form: "There is always something new coming out of Africa." The first edition of Erasmus' book of adages was published in 1500. The phrase was clearly well known during the Renaissance, and would have retained its negative connotation, Solodow said. Modern Usage By the time the phrase reached modern times, its message changed considerably. The trustees of the South African Museum chose the saying as its official motto in 1877 to honour the institution's spirit of scientific endeavour and to highlight ancient fossils being discovered on the continent. 13
"When it reappears in the 20th century, it has mostly a positive sense," said Solodow. "Whenever the change took place, two things had occurred; either the proverb had been cut off from its original meaning, or the word 'new' didn't immediately signal something bad anymore." Politically, the phrase signalled a period of hopefulness as Africa shrugged off colonialist governments, said Feinberg. "In the late 1940s and 1950s there was a tremendous period of excitement as the colonies in Africa began to emerge as independent countries," he said. "There was a lot of hope for the continent; the resources were there, and some of the countries, like Ghana, had tremendous monetary reserves. There was an overwhelmingly positive sense of something good happening." In science, the phrase is applied to the widely accepted theory of human origins. The "Out of Africa" theory holds that Africa is the cradle of humanity, the place where humans first evolved. This is an overwhelmingly positive use of the phrase, the authors note. The phrase can be used in a somewhat pejorative sense. In her book Illness as Metaphor, Susan Sontag attacks the use of "Out of Africa" in connection with theories of the origin of AIDS. She suggests the usage is a function of western bias. Many headline writers attach the phrase to conditions thought to have originated in Africa. Still, in its sojourn through history, the ancient proverb has evolved from a description suggesting the bizarre to a phrase used more as a geographic designation. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/02/0219_030219_outofafrica.html
OXFORD DICTIONARY OF PROVERBS (Via HBH)
 "There is always something new out of Africa" Latin ex Africa semper aliquid novi, a variant of a passage in the Naturalis Historia (viii. 16) of Pliny the Elder referring to hybridization of African animals: unde etiam vulgare Graeciae dictum semper aliquid novi African afferre, hence that 14
common saying of the Greek that Africa is always bringing forth something new; the allusion is to a passage in Aristotle's De Animalibus Historia viii. 28, 7 Ἀɛὶ Λίβύη ϕέρɛί ṯί καίνόν, Libya is always showing something new. Versions of the Latin saying have been current in England since Erasmus' Adagia (1500). “It is saied that Affricque bringeth foorthe alwaies some newe thing.” [1559 W. Bavarde tr. A Woorke of Ioannes Ferrarius 81] France, which as Africk produceth always something New, for I never knew week passe in Paris but it brought forth some new kinds of Authors. [1642 J.

NIGERIAN POLICE 
IMPRESSIONS ON THE NIGERIAN POLICE by Koos Kotze
I saw the Nigerian Police every day whilst working in Nigeria and overall my impression was very favourable. I also had the honour of working closely with a retired Nigerian Police Commissioner who impressed me as an honest God fearing citizen combined with a higher intellect than my own. I also saw the Nigerian Police training grounds in Lagos first hand. Keep in mind that I looked at the Nigerian Police Force with the professional eye of a former policeman, lawyer and security expert who worked and travelled all over Africa and Europe. As such these are my impressions and mine alone. What I saw and experienced of the Nigerian Police is better than many other African Police Forces. They try their best under conditions which is rather difficult and unfamiliar to the rest of the world. For example, let us look at infrastructure in a place like Lagos where I spend 90% of my time. The traffic is something you simply cannot imagine for it is blocked and hardly moves for hours which mean the Police response time is really limited by the prevailing conditions. There is nothing you can do as police management except to use motorbikes, bicycles and foot patrols with much decentralised police stations to make access easy. As far as I know the Nigerian Police implemented this years if not decades ago already. Accordingly you will not find a response time of minutes and many prefer to go to the police after the fact. Still, in other parts of the city the police do respond as quickly as possible. I often saw the policemen patrolling and I was (still am) impressed with their uniforms. Even if a bit faded they looked like guardsmen being very neat and military correct. I have not seen an unfastened button or dirty shoes. Physically they were fit and strong and I dare say I did not see a single overweight one disgracing his uniform as we see in other parts of the world. They made a good first impression. They were all armed with clean (working condition) AK47's or FN-type rifles. I found that strange for the simple reason of logistic problems in having different calibres and would have thought a single weapon would make more sense. Probably they Army got the best or latest gear as is the rule in Africa. I do not know their weapons skills but keeping it clean says a lot. The rest of their equipment was also clean and wellkept if battered but then, in that traffic, all vehicles are battered and it takes a 16
foreigner to notice it. I saw a few armoured vehicles which did not excite me not being landmine resistant as far as I could see. Naturally that is not to say there is a need for landmine proof vehicles and the idea betrays my own background in counter-insurgency. Nor did I see radio aerials but then everyone had a mobile phone with him. Their Nigerian Police high command is exceedingly educated men and gentlemen officer types in the British tradition. Many, like my colleague, had advanced degrees from American and UK Universities and they are exceptional men in any company. What impressed me of them (all ranks) that they are all very patriotic as is the average Nigerian and will gladly express their views on the subject including the corruption problems they face and how to solve it. They don't have racism and I certainly never experienced anything which could be remotely called racism or more correctly reverse racism since I am white even if African by birth. If a Nigerian does not like you it is personal and not your skin colour. This is very reassuring for I experienced racism in other countries because I am African. All in all they are excellent people to be with and I don't accept as true the many comments of police brutality. From experience I know that it is rather impossible to be a good policeman and also to be without accusations of violence and other nonsense for the job demands a certain amount of physical involvement. Sure you may have a few bad apples and the law deals with them too. * I am continuously astonished when my overseas clients express the view that Africa has no laws and is open for exploitation. Let me assure you, Africa has all the laws needed and in terms of human rights are the world far ahead in same sex marriages and other burning civil rights issues. The problem is not the laws but the correct application of it but that is a subject on its own. Many, if not most of the Nigerian Police senior ranks, have international police keeping experience within the UN or Africa Union mandates. Much more than the rest of Africa I would say. Besides this they remained true to their heritage with military ranks and what they are supposed to be - an African Police Force and not a watered down politically correct version one which we find in so many countries. I
17
assure you, my impression was that the Nigerian Police will do what needs to be done or ordered to do. They will not be found wanting if challenged. So what is the negative you ask? Bribery which is a form of corruption happens. It is not uncommon for a policeman to ask for a bribe at a police blockade but I never felt threatened enough to actually pay one. They habitually leave you alone if you politely refuse. This is important for the same cannot be said in other countries where I did feel very threatened. As bad as the bribery is it is not my eyes too serious to ask for cold drink etc. Once it becomes a way of life and the policeman a highway robber in disguise I have a big problem with it. Having said this, it must stop and is ill advised to do such things. The times I dealt officially or non-officially with the Nigerian Police I was treated with much respect and I had no problems with their attitude or willingness to assist me or my company. The jails (from what I saw on the outside) are tough places but not tougher than any other African country and better than some and are anyway not a Nigerian Police function. It is as we say "don't do the deed and then you won't do the time". With this I need to say the courts work well enough. Slowly yes. But it is there and it is functioning and it is manned by shrewd lawyers following the British traditions in appearance with wigs and procedure. Any lawyer with an understanding of UK law or other common law based system will be able to follow the proceedings very easily. This is also important for it means that the Nigerian Police is subjected to the usual separation of powers found in any other country. I clearly remember the visit to the Nigerian Police basic training grounds (Lagos Police College) which is like our own SAP College in Pretoria. Just as big and the same methods being used which included a lot of military drill and parade ground work. The buildings were old but neat meaning clean and presentable. This says a lot to me for it shows pride in the country and the Force. Being natural athletes the cadets went through a punishing physical routine but that is the way it is with any African Police Force. Unfortunately, I did not experience or saw the elite counterterrorism units but from what I hear they are good.
18
The Mobile Force (like our riot units or whatever it is called today) is well trained and more than able to take care of rioters without being a destabilization influence themselves. I noted from their equipment though that they can do with better vehicles (more off-road capability and armoured). Still, I would not recommend taking them on. I am sure the Nigerian Police have many problems but the basic skills and men are there to improve on. They are not just another "African Police Force" but a Force which is feared by its enemies (criminals) and it deserves a lot more respect than normally given to them. In fact, I have high hopes for the future of the Nigerian Police Force and was always glad to see them around. K
EGYPTIAN POLICE A coup d’état has taken place in Egypt. A new president has been sworn in.
From a South African Perspective Egypt is known to us as many members of the South African Forces including the “Police Brigade” which saw service in North Africa (first Abyssinia, then Egypt and Libya.)

Law Enforcement in Egypt is the responsibility of the Ministry of Interior of Egypt.
National organization
The Ministry of Interior divides the functions of the police and public security among four Deputy Ministers of Interior while the Minister of Interior himself retained responsibility
for state
security (El
Mukhabarat) investigations
and
overall
organization. There are four Deputy Ministers:
Public
Security responsible
for public
safety (inc Municipal
Police),
travel, emigration, passports, port security, and criminal investigation.
Special Police responsible for prison administration, the Central Security Forces, civil defence, police transport, police communications, traffic police, and Tourism and Antiquities Police.
Personnel Affairs was responsible for police-training institutions, personnel matters for police and civilian employees, and the Policemen's Sports Association.
Administrative and Financial Affairs responsible for general administration, budgets, supplies, and legal matters.
In
Regional organization each
the Governorates
of
Egypt (sing. muhafazah;
pl., muhafazat),
the
presidentially appointed governor and a director of police command all police and maintain public order. Both the governor and the director of police report to the Ministry of Interior on all security matters. The governor reports directly to the minister or to a deputy while the director of police reports through regular police channels. In the governorate's subdivisions there are district police commandants with the authority and functions that were similar to the director at the governorate level. The urban police have more modern facilities and equipment, such as computers and communications equipment, while the smaller more remote village police have less sophisticated facilities and equipment. The police became increasingly motorised and it is now rare to see an officer on foot patrol except in city or town centres, and then rarely alone.

Training
Almost all commissioned officers were graduates of the Police Academy at Cairo where police had to complete a three-month course. The Police Academy is a modern institution equipped with laboratory and physical-training facilities. The police force also sent some officers abroad for schooling. The Police Academy offers a two-year program which includes: security
administration, criminal
fighting,
forensic
medicine,
investigation, military
communications,
drills,
civil
cryptology, first
defence, fire
aid,
sociology,
anatomy, and foreign languages (French and English). Also included are: political orientation, public relations, and military subjects (such as infantry and cavalry training), marksmanship,
leadership,
and
field
exercises.
Graduates
receive
a bachelor of police studies degree and are commissioned first lieutenants. Advanced officer training was given at the Academy's Institute for Advanced Police Studies, completion of which was required for advancement beyond the rank of lieutenant colonel. The academy's three-month course for enlisted personnel is conducted in a military atmosphere but emphasizes police methods and techniques. 
Uniforms and equipment
Ranks Egyptian police rank insignia are the same as those used by the Egyptian Army. Commissioned police ranks resemble those of the Egyptian Army. The highestranking Egyptian police officer is a major general and officer ranks descend only to first lieutenant. Enlisted police ranks include master sergeant, sergeant, corporal, and private. Police uniforms Egyptian police uniforms are similar to the Egyptian Army's service uniform for the ground forces, which is khaki drill cotton. However, enlisted police personnel wear a black wool bush jacket and pants in the winter and a white cotton bush jacket and pants in the summer. Certain police personnel also wear a blue or black beret. Equipment
21
Egyptian law enforcement police officers generally carry M&P357, CZ 75B or Glock pistol when on regular duty; however, heavy arms are always available at police stations.
These
include submachine
guns, assault
rifles, shotguns and carbines,
while special units may also have additional weapons like Flash bang and stinger tear gas grenades, H&K USP series and SIG Sauer series pistols, Heckler & Koch MP5, Heckler & Koch UMP and FN P90 submachine guns, M14 rifle, the Remington 700P and some .50 calibre sniper rifles. 
Tourism and Antiquities Police
Tourism and Antiquities Police covering every single spot tourists could go to like sites, museums, hotels, etc. such as the Giza, Memphis Giza, Egyptian Museum, etc. in Cairo, Alexandria - Qaitbay Citadel and the Serapium Temple and Pompeys Pillar, etc., going through all cities in Egypt carrying same weapons as law enforcement police. 
Transport
Unlike in many other countries, the Egyptian police extensively use SUVs. The Egyptian produced Jeep vehicle used to be the most common police car in Egypt but in recent years, other similar vehicles have also come into police use. SUVs are known for their capabilities to move around in any sort of terrain. Depending upon the location, the police vehicles may have individual revolving lights (strobe lights) or light bars, sirens etc. An extensive modernisation drive has ensured that these vehicles are equipped with wireless sets in communication with a central control room. Traffic Police vehicles generally also have equipment like speed radars, breath analysers and emergency first aid kits. Colour schemes of police vehicles vary according to their location and which directorate they belong to. For traffic regulation and patrolling in cities, motorcycles are also used. This is because of increasing congestion in cities where the heavier bikes would prove to be unwieldy when compared to the nimbler handling the newer bikes were capable of. The bikes are provided with two-way radios, strobes and sirens and are generally painted white. Some cities make use of sedans as patrol vehicles or high speed 'interceptors' on highways. Of late, the various police forces are on a modernisation drive, upgrading and revamping their fleet with new vehicles.

Relations with public
The police in Egypt have lost some prestige since the 2011 Revolution. According to one source (csmonitor.org), the Egyptian police, "once feared by civilians, are now seen as leftover elements of Mubarak’s regime and treated with little respect. Pulled off the streets after violently cracking down on protests in January, they are now trying to reshape their role in the post-Mubarak Egypt." Police brutality is credited with being one of the causes of the revolution, and as of June 2011 several police officers are being tried for the killing of "hundreds of demonstrators" during the revolution. According to government statistics, 90 police stations have been burnt since the start of the revolution. The government has taken steps to address public concerns and police demoralization. In response to a planned July 8 rally protesting the release on bail of police accused of murdering protesters during the revolution, interim interior minister Mansour al-Essawy promised to purge up to 700 corrupt senior police officers. However protesters complained that five months after the revolution where almost 1000 people were killed, only one officer has been convicted of wrongdoing and he has not yet been incarcerated.

POLICE HISTORY
The South African Police Brigade serving in Egypt during WW2
When WW2 was declared during September 1939, like Britain and her Allies, South Africa also declared war against Germany. Like most of the Allies the Union Defence Force (UDF) was also unprepared for this event of cataclysmic proportions. The 23
South African Police (SAP) was asked to furnish the UDF with a Brigade. This was done and the Commissioner of Police, Col IP de Villiers, MC, was appointed Major General in the UDF. The SAP then trained and sent the Brigade up North under the command of Lt Col (later Brig) FW Cooper, DSO – the Quartermaster of the SAP.
24
In further editions we will also present our readers with more on the history of the SA Police (1913 – 1994). During January 1995 the former South African Police Force and the other police agencies in South Africa consolidated to form the South African Police Service. The old semi-military SAP became part of the SAPS a police service with a more civilian and softer approach.

EGYPTIAN GENERAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia (Redirected from Egyptian General Intelligence Directorate) Police work is closely related to Internal Security. Usually Internal Security has two legs – the covert leg related to intelligence and the overt leg related to counterinsurgency and riot control.
We ask our correspondents to help us so that we can obtain all the overt data on the various police & intelligence forces on our continent. We are not interested in political or religious issues, but in police work as performed by our colleagues here on the continent. These days Africa has also become a rural village part of the global village – criminals perambulate from country to country and from stat to state.

The General Intelligence Service (GIS) (Arabic: Mukhabarat

often
called
/ Gihaz al-
the Mukhabarat (Arabic:
/ al-
Mukhabarat), is an Egyptian intelligence agency responsible for providing national security intelligence,
both
domestically
and
transnationally,
with
a counter-
terrorism focus. The GIS is part of the Egyptian intelligence community, together with the Office of Military Intelligence Services and Reconnaissance (Arabic: / Idarat al-Mukhabarat al-Harbyya wa al-Istitla) and the State Security Investigations Service (SSIS) (Arabic:
/ Gihaz Mabahith Amn al-
Dawla).  The
History decision
to
set
up
an
Egyptian
intelligence
service
was
taken
by President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1954, and placed under the command of Zakaria Mohieddin. However, the agency's importance rose when Nasser assigned its command to Salah Nasr, who held the post of director of the GIS from 1957 to 1967. Under Nasr's supervision, the GIS relocated to its own building and established separate divisions for Radio, Computer, Forgery and Black Operations. To cover the agency's expenses, Nasr set up Al Nasr Company, ostensibly an import-export firm, as a front. For several years the name of GIS director was a secret only known to high officials and
government
newspapers
chief
editors.
However,
Major-General Omar
Suleiman who was the head of the GIS from 1993 to January 2011, was the first one the break this taboo. His name was published before he himself became a known face in media after being envoyed by the former Egyptian president Mubarak to Israel, USA and Gaza on several occasions.
27
On January 31st 2011, Major-General Murad Muwafi was declared the director of GIS, after Omar Suleiman was appointed as a Vice President of Egypt then resigned after the former president Mubarak had to step down during the Egyptian revolution.
Achievements
In spite of the rule which says "success in the intelligence world is a buried secret while failure is a worldwide scandal" the GIS did achieve many successes a few of which were released and dramatized in Egyptian TV and cinema.
The GIS states that it managed to plant an Egyptian agent among Jewish immigrants to Israel. That agent, Refaat El-Gammal, managed to live 18 years in Israel without being discovered. In those years, he established a network of spies in various fields of the Israeli community, though this is contradicted by various Israeli sources, which state that Refaat was a double agent and helped the IDF to win the Six Day War.
In 1970 the GIS managed to hunt an Israeli oil rig while being shipped from Canada
to
Sinai
(occupied
at
that
time).
Clandestine
GIS
agents
and frogmen succeeded in tracing the oil rig to Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire and planted sets of explosives, had them detonated and crippled the rig. Ironically, this was done while the city was full, not only of Mossad agents protecting the oil rig, but also while it was full of CIA agents who were guarding the NASA astronauts during their visit to Côte d'Ivoire. This operation was published in 1985 under the name "Al-Haffar Operation" it was supervised at that time by GIS director Ameen Heweedy (1921–2009).
Perhaps a major success of the GIS was handling the Egyptian "Strategic Deception Plan" which was carried out from 01/1970 to 10/1973 and aimed to conceal the Egyptian plans to launch massive operation to free occupied Sinai on the 6th of October 1973 starting the Yom Kippur war. The plan included planting false information and hidden implied data in Egyptian president Sadat's speeches and newspapers articles. For example the GIS prepared the military operations and evacuated complete sections of Cairo hospitals to be ready for receiving war casualties. This evacuation that took place few days before the war started, was done after declaring false information that those hospitals were infected with 28
Tetanus. The plan included a major operation whose details are still not published. This operation aimed at getting detailed information of American spy satellites covering the Middle East, by knowing exact trajectories and timing of those satellites the GIS prepared complicated logistic movement schedules for all Egyptian military units to avoid moving mass troops in timings where they could be spotted by satellites.
During the 1973 war with Israel the GIS spied on Mossad weeks prior to the surprise attack on the 6th of October. The information derived allowed the director and his associates to identify the weakest points on the Israeli front line. A suicide mission to divert the Israeli counter-attack was initiated to halt Israeli movements into mainland Egypt.

Karegeya's body was discovered on New Year's Day on a bed at hotel and apartment complex Michelangelo Towers - where he had checked in three days earlier. His neck was swollen and a bloody towel and rope were found in the room's safe, South African police said. The opposition Rwanda National Congress, many of whose senior members are also living in exile, described Karegeya's death as an assassination.
31
'By killing its opponents, the criminal regime in Kigali seeks to intimidate and silence the Rwandan people into submission,' it said. A spokesperson for the Rwandan presidency declined to comment and it was not possible to reach Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo or spokespeople at the Rwandan embassy in Pretoria. Paul Ramakolo, a spokesman for South Africa's Hawks, an elite crime fighting unit, confirmed Karegeya had been killed. He said: 'We will check if it was as a result of strangulation or what could be the factor.'
Discovery: The former head of Rwanda's external intelligence service was found in the Michelangelo Towers Suites, Johannesburg (pictured)
32
Plot: Patrick Karegeya allegedly plotted a coup against Rwandan President Paul Kagame - pictured with Prime Minister David Cameron Rwanda's ambassador to South Africa, Vincent Karega, earlier told local radio SAFM he was not aware of details of the killing. 'We encourage the authorities to really look into the matter so that we know exactly what happened,' he said. The alleged coup against President Paul Kagame was thought to have been planned by Karegeya and Rwandan army chief Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa - who was also exiled to South Africa. Nyamwasa was shot in the stomach in 2010 as he drove into the driveway of his upmarket Johannesburg home.
33
Ally: General Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa who was allegedly planning a coup with Patrick Karegeya He survived what his family said was an assassination attempt ordered by Kagame. Both Nyamwasa and Karegeya fought alongside Kagame in Rwanda's 1994 war, which halted the genocide by ethnic Hutu militia who had killed 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in just three months. In 2011, South Africa declined a Rwandan request to extradite Nyamwasa to his homeland. He was also wanted in Spain and France for killings in the 1990s. Also in 2011, a Rwandan military court sentenced Karegeya, Nyamwasa and two other exiled officers to 20 years in prison for threatening state security after they were tried in absentia. Read more:

Fake SA passport allegations surround 'killer' of Rwanda's ex-spy boss
06 JAN 2014 00:00 SARAH EVANS
Patrick Karegeya’s alleged killer entered South Africa on a fake passport, according to close friends of the slain former Rwandan spy chief.
Did Patrick Karegeya's alleged killer enter South Africa on a fake passport? And had he done so before? Yes, according to close friends of the former Rwandan spy boss, whose body was found in a Sandton hotel room on New Year's Day. If Karegeya's friends and colleagues are correct, it would indicate an intelligence failure on the part of South African authorities. Political asylum seekers such as Karegeya claim the South African authorities had offered them protection. Meanwhile, an alleged agent of the Paul Kagame regime was frequently in their midst, evading airport security checks with false documents, and courting their inner circle with a view to commit murder. Rwanda's ambassador to South Africa Vincent Karega, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, distanced Kigali from Karageya's death. 35
"Even though he [Karageya] declared himself an enemy of Rwanda, we didn't see any threat. Rwanda wasn't involved," he said. One clear suspect A department of home affairs's spokesperson referred queries about the false passport claims to that department's director general, who could not be reached on Sunday. Hawks spokesperson Captain Paul Ramaloko was unable to confirm whether the police were working with home affairs or Interpol on the case. However, Ramaloko confirmed that no arrests had been made by Sunday evening, and said "all possible avenues" were being explored in the investigation. "We are doing our best to bring the culprit to book," Ramaloko said. In the Rwandan political-refugee community living in South Africa, there is one clear suspect involved in Karegeya's crime: a man called Apollo Gafaranga.
The Rwandan Sunday Times profiled the "entrepreneur", Gafaranga, in 2009. The Rwandan press called him a "business mogul"; he opened a cinema worth $1million in 2009. His brother, Amini Gafaranga, appears close to the Kagame regime, speaking at Rwanda Day celebrations in London in May 2013, an event endorsed by Paul Kagame. Travelling with fake documents Two close friends of Karegeya, who spoke to the Mail & Guardian, claimed Gafaranga had spent years earning the former spy chief's trust, travelling to South Africa on at least four occasions, where he would be Kareyega's house guest. And he always travelled with fake documents, they claim. But on his final and fatal visit, Gafaranga asked to be put up in a hotel, instead of staying at Kareyega's house. This was because he was increasingly fearful of the Kagame regime, Gafaranga claimed, and he told Kareyega he did not want to jeopardise his friend's security. Kareyega then booked the hotel room at the Michelangelo Towers in Sandton and went to visit Gafaranga on New Year's Eve. When Kareyega did not respond to text messages or phone calls, his nephew became suspicious and went to the hotel. 36
Karegeya was found dead. Curtain tie-backs and a pillow case were found in the safe. Garafanga was gone, taking only his cellphone and wallet, and leaving his suitcase behind. Informal network of informants Frank Ntwali, Africa regional chairperson of the Rwanda National Congress (RNC) – the opposition party that Karegeya helped to form – believes Gafaranga entered South Africa from a different African country on every visit, to avoid detection. Ntwali last saw Karegeya on December 28, when the two had dinner and discussed their political plans for the new year. Karegeya was upbeat. At this point, the former intelligence chief was well aware that Gafaranga was en route. Said Ntwali: "About four months ago, he [Gafaranga] made contact with Patrick and claimed Kagame's government was harassing him and had closed his business. He asked Karegeya to help him set up a new life in South Africa, and help him start a business here." Karegeye had no reason to be suspicious of Gafaranga; the latter had been part of Karegeya's informal network of informants during his tenure as foreign minister of intelligence in Kagame's government. And now, it's likely Karegeya believed he was helping a fellow-oppositionist escape Kigali. "It's not unreasonable to help those escaping Rwanda," Ntwali said. The RNC issued a statement on Friday, also naming Gafaranga as the suspect. Attempted hits According to another friend of Karegeya and fellow-exile, who asked not to be named for security reasons, Kareyega had protection from the South African government but asked the authorities to back off, about a year ago, because he felt his movements were too restricted. Ntwali confirmed this. Kareyega, according to sources, had grown complacent. This, despite a keen sense of persecution by Rwandan opposition leaders living in South Africa. Fellow exiled opposition leader Lieutenant General Faustin Nyamwasa survived a shooting in June 2010.
37
Ntwali was stabbed nine times in 2012, in what he claims was an attempted hit. And in October this year, a Burundian man, Emmanuel Habiyambere, was convicted in Sweden of aggravated espionage, for collecting information about Rwandan exiles on behalf of Kagame regime.http://mg.co.za/article/2014-01-06-00fake-passport-allegations-surround-killer-of-rwandas-ex-spy-boss/ JOHANNESBURG – Officials have confirmed the arrest of four Rwandans, including a senior military official, in Mozambique in connection with the murder of former Rwandan spymaster Colonel Patrick Karegeya. Karegeya was found dead in his room at the Michelangelo Towers in Sandton on New Year’s Day. A blood-stained towel and curtain cord were found in a safe in his hotel room. Police say the suspects were taken into custody a week ago after Mozambique officials reportedly acted on a tip-off from their South African counterparts.Mozambique police have given no details as to where the four suspects were detained. It’s believed one of them is a senior official in the Rwandan armed forces. Authorities say the four alleged killers await extradition to South Africa. In an apparent reference to the murder, Rwandan President Paul Kagame this week warned that treason brings consequences. Karegeya fled to South Africa seven years ago and was granted political asylum after Kagame sacked him. Kagame stopped short of officially accepting responsibility for ordering the murder but said, if someone feels no shame in destroying what Rwandans have built over a period of time, he won’t feel shy in protecting it.He says Rwandans are not bothered when someone like Karegeya dies.The opposition Rwanda National Congress insists Karegeya was murdered by Kagame’s agents. Former Rwandan army chief Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa echoed the claim, saying it’s the policy of Rwanda’s government to kill Kagame’s opponents. Nyamwasa, who’s also living in exile in South Africa, has survived two assassination attempts himself. South Africa’s government on Thursday broke its silence on Karegeya’s murder, saying no stone would be left unturned in bringing his killers to justice.

Discovering the Battlefields of the Anglo-Zulu War: K Gillings
Ken Gillings (R250.00 + shipping)
Paperback / 256 pages ISBN: 978-1-920143-90-9 100 b/w illustrations, 20 maps (via William Marshall) Interest in KwaZulu-Natal’s battlefields – especially those of the Anglo-Zulu War – has soared since the film Zulu first screened in 1964, followed by Zulu Dawn in 1979 (the centenary of the Anglo-Zulu War). During the centenary, the famous battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift were made ‘tourist-friendly’ by the then Natal Provincial Administration and controls were put in place by the heritage authorities to prevent relics from being plundered. Supported by effective marketing from the Battlefield Route Association and the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Tourism Authority, the battlefields have become a must-see. Indeed, Rorke’s Drift has become a tourist icon. Specialist battlefield guides have been trained and are considered to be among the best in the world. New hotels and lodges have been built with battlefield tourism resulting in the creation of an estimated 7,500 permanent jobs in what is termed the Battlefield Region. There are, of course, many more Anglo-Zulu War sites to be seen: Discovering the Battlefields will enable visitors to find them and to read an account that is not too lengthy yet has sufficient content to bring it to life. GPS co-ordinates will enable those wishing to undertake a journey of exploration. The book is also a useful training manual for prospective battlefield guides. Above all, however, the author shares his knowledge gleaned from over 50 years of researching the Anglo-Zulu War. He has blended first-hand accounts passed on from participants on both sides to subsequent generations with official or newly-researched information that has
42
become available in recent years. It is written in a style that is neither technical nor dramatic, is extensively illustrated with photographs of personalities and places and includes comprehensive maps of all the battle sites. 
Unmaking of the torturer: Dr Elaine Bing LAPA | October 31, 2013 | Kobo Edition (eBook) Three policemen tell the horrifying stories of what they had done during the apartheid years how, where and whom they had tortured.
