The continent’s catalyst of Peace and Sovereignty.
A Seminal Initiative for Sovereignty, Safety & Identity
Conceived by Africa’s Sovereign Development Trust®, the United African Defence Force© (UADF) is a strategic initiative designed to confront the pressing and multifaceted security challenges facing the continent. These challenges include persistent terrorism in the Sahel region, enduring instability in the Horn of Africa, exploitative actions by foreign entities, and numerous internal and interstate conflicts affecting Africa’s fifty-four sovereign nations.
The UADF aims to unify these nations under a singular, resilient defence structure that promotes regional stability, reduces dependence on external military assistance, and firmly defends African sovereignty against undue foreign influence. Central to its mission is the establishment of a Unified African Maritime Border to protect vital coastal and maritime interests critical to the continent’s economic and security landscape.
To ensure operational effectiveness, the UADF will implement comprehensive capacity-building initiatives across member states. These include rigorous training programs, equipping forces with state-of-the-art technology, and developing a centrally managed operational command center. These elements collectively form a cohesive, highly capable, and responsive force, fully prepared to address a broad spectrum of security threats within the framework of the African Federation Treaty.
Founded on Principles
Firmly anchored in the foundational principles of The African Charter and the African Union (AU)'s ambitious Agenda 2063, the UADF represents a profound and strategic evolution of the existing African Standby Force (ASF). It aims to establish a more comprehensively integrated, resilient, and adaptive security framework underpinned by a multilateral treaty. Beyond addressing traditional security threats, it is meticulously calibrated to proactively tackle emergent and evolving challenges, including climate change-induced resource conflicts, cross-border terrorism, cyber threats, and increasingly sophisticated organised crime syndicates. By doing so, the UADF seeks to secure durable peace and foster an environment conducive to sustainable economic prosperity across the continent. Furthermore, the UADF is poised to streamline intra-continental resource sharing, optimise the deployment and operational efficacy of military and security assets across member states, and unequivocally serve as a powerful emblem of African leadership, unity, and self-determination on the international stage.
Under The African Federation Treaty, the UADF is strategically integrated with complementary initiatives, notably OmniGaza®, a cutting-edge blockchain platform specifically engineered to guarantee unparalleled transparency and rigorous accountability in the intricate processes of project management and financial syndication. This potent synergy is designed to unequivocally underpin and catalyse sustainable development projects continent-wide, encompassing vital areas such as transformative infrastructure development, critical wildlife conservation efforts, and comprehensive youth empowerment programmes. Indeed, the Trust's distinguished flagship investment suite—comprising Ndege Aerospace©, Ndege MarketPlace©, and The Ndege Foundation©—is envisioned to flourish and expand exponentially, buoyed by this inherently secure and stable continental foundation.
Recognising Africa's demographic trajectory, with its population projected to ascend to an estimated 2.5 billion by 2050, the UADF represents a prescient and strategic imperative designed to address the continent's burgeoning and evolving needs such as a continental cloud-seeding program with our Ndege Aerospace department. The UADF in meticulously intertwines the indispensable pillars of security with comprehensive socio-economic development, cultivating a resilient and self-reliant Africa profoundly capable of navigating and surmounting future global uncertainties. The Ndege Group, therefore, extends a profound invitation to sovereign governments, esteemed ministries of foreign affairs, and global collaborative partners to actively engage in shaping and actualising this transformative vision, confident that through collective endeavour, continental security and African autonomy shall unequivocally prevail.
