Where we work
Specialised across the Horn of Africa and East Africa
Two regions we know in depth, not one country. We lead with the ground we actually work on. Elsewhere we say plainly whether a requirement is met by direct capability, by a vetted partner engaged for the assignment, or by intelligence coverage only.
Horn of Africa — direct capability
- Somalia — Mogadishu and federal member states
- Somaliland — Hargeisa and corridors
- Puntland — Garowe and coastal districts
- Ethiopia, Djibouti and Eritrea border corridors
East Africa — regional delivery
- Kenya — Nairobi, coast and north-eastern counties
- Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi
- South Sudan — Juba and state capitals
- Personnel engaged and vetted per assignment, confirmed in writing before scope is accepted
Intelligence coverage
- All 54 African states via the Africa Intelligence Centre
- Operating-environment and access analysis
- Feasibility assessed before any deployment
