    Felix Ndahinda “I don't see this [granting the mandate to combat M23 rebels to a force comprising southern African nations, SADECO] as a stabilising intervention, at most, it will postpone the issue because there is no one military solution.

“Pyongyang's claim of testing a solid-fuel motor for longer range ballistic missiles supports its more aggressive, recently declared doctrine of using nuclear weapons if the Kim leadership or strategic assets come under threat. Once deployed, the technology would make North Korea's nuclear forces more versatile, survivable, and dangerous.”
