African Nations with Strongest and Weakest Military 2020

Table of Contents

 Bertrand Russell once said, "War does not determine who is right - only who is left." Since 2006, Global Fire Power (GFP) has released a list yearly that ranks the military strength of nations across the world. 

The GFP makes use of over 50 factors in line with its in-house formula to determine a given nation's Power Index ('PwrIndx') score.

According to the report, this provides the final ranking while also allowing smaller, more technologically-advanced, nations to compete with larger, lesser-developed ones.

Some bonuses and penalties are added for refinement, and in the end, they hope an unbiased look into the potential conventional military strength of world power.

The 2020 Global Fire Power ranking included a total of 35 African countries.

The finalized Global Firepower ranking below utilizes over 50 individual factors to determine a given nation's Power Index ('PwrIndx') score with categories ranging from the workforce, airpower, land forces, naval forces, natural resources, financials, logistical capability, and geography. 

GFP claims that a perfect PwrIndx score is 0.0000, which is realistically unattainable in the scope of the current GFP formula.

The smaller the PwrIndx value, the more powerful a nation's technical fighting capability is (by conventional means as nuclear capability is NOT taken into account).

Please take a look at the top and bottom countries on this year's list ranked by their potential military strength.
