Botswana needs a new national security strategy

It would be totally extravagant for any government to make such an important review without committing all other stakeholders who matter in the equation. I am aware that this review would include agencies such as the intelligence, prisons and the police. But allow me to restrict myself to the military for now even though I will touch others in the not so distant future. This is where most of the country’s financial resources are spent every year.

Botswana Defence Force has literally evolved over the years from its very humble genesis. Earlier Botswana became the only independent republic in Southern Africa in the strictest sense.
