The armed forces of Egypt are the largest on the African continent and one of the biggest in the world (ranked 11th), consisting of the Egyptian Army, Egyptian Navy, Egyptian Air Force and Egyptian Air Defense Command.
Egypt maintains a large paramilitary force under the control of the Ministry of Interior. They number around 250,000 strong and are known as the Central Security Forces. The government also has a relatively strong National Guard and Border Security Forces however they, unlike the Central Security Forces, come under the control of the Ministry of Defence and are reported to number 60,000 and 20,000 respectively.
The Commander-in-Chief is Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi. The Chief of Staff is Lt. Gen. Sami Hafez Enan.
The armed forces inventory includes equipment from the United States, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, the former Soviet Union, and the People's Republic of China. Equipment from the former Soviet Union is being progressively replaced by more modern American, French, and British equipment, a significant portion of which is built under license in Egypt, such as the M1 Abrams tank. To bolster stability and moderation in the region, Egypt has provided military assistance and training to a number of African and Arab states. Although not a NATO member, Egypt remains a strong military and strategic partner and is a participant in NATO's Mediterranean Dialogue forum. The Egyptian Armed Forces is considered to be the strongest military power in Africa and the Middle East. Egypt is the only Arab country with a spy satellite and will launch another one by the end of 2007.
ArmyThe armed forces inventory includes equipment from the United States, France, Brazil, the United Kingdom, the former Soviet Union, and the People's Republic of China. Equipment from the former Soviet Union is being progressively replaced by more modern American, French, and British equipment, a significant portion of which is built under license in Egypt, such as the M1 Abrams tank which makes Egypt the owner of the biggest number of latest generation MBTs, and the second after Syria in case of the older generations.
The Egyptian Army having the largest number of equipment, and personnel, beside having many co-training operations with other countries like the United States, and a leading modern technology warfare, is thought to be the strongest in both Africa and the Middle East.
Air ForceThe Egyptian Air Force or EAF is the aviation branch of the Egyptian Armed Forces. Currently, the backbone of the EAF is the F-16. The Mirage 2000 is the other modern interceptor used by the EAF. It has over 579 combat aircraft and 149 armed helicopters as it continues to fly extensively upgraded MiG-21s, F-7 Skybolts, F-4 Phantom, Dassault Mirage Vs, and C-130 Hercules among other planes. The Air Force is undergoing massive modernization. Mikoyan confirmed that talks with Egypt are underway for the possible sale of Mig-29SMT jet-fighters.
NavyAlthough the Egyptian Navy is the smallest branch of the military, it is large by Middle Eastern standards. It has a total of 20,000 personnel.
The Egyptian Navy is known to be the strongest in Africa and the Middle East in spite of the rapid growing of other countries navies within the region.
Some fleet units are stationed in the Red Sea, but the bulk of the force remains in the Mediterranean. Navy headquarters and the main operational and training base are located at Ras at Tin near Alexandria.
Paramilitary ForcesParamilitary Forces number around 330,000 and consist of the Central Security Forces, the National Guard, the Border Guard Forces and the Coast Guard.
The central African country with the strongest army is Kenya.
Kenya has a very highly organised army, air force and navy, which not all African countries have each of. Kenya is also in an extremely strategic location, making it very easy to defend and extremely difficult to invade, which is why the British Empire took control of Kenya, to provide defence to the African nations controlled by Britain.
To this day, Kenya is a member of the British Commonwealth, which means that alongside their own military, they also receive military support from Britain (United Kingdom). Kenya also has good diplomatic ties with the United States, which sells weapons, equipment and vehicles to Kenya's military.
Kenya, the UK and the US are also actively working together as allies to eliminate terrorists and pirates in Africa.
Somalia is the strongest country military wise. More than 8 million troops. If Somalia was at peace they would capture 1/3 of Africa.
South Africa has the best army in southern Africa, but Egypt arguably has the best in Northern Africa.
Uganda, Joseph Kony is responsible for giving Uganda this arm of over 30,000 child soldiers.

i think Egypt
Egypt because Egypt is one of the richest countries in Africa and it is way more developed than Somalia both economically and military wise . Somalia's military/army also struggles to drive out terrorist groups such as Al-Shabaab and Al-Qaedah. So what would they do with the most powerful African country in front of them? And by the way Somalia is not in North Africa

Yes, South Africa is the strongest both economically, and has the best technology along with military power.

Most military analysts would put the Army of South Africa and the Army of Egypt as far more effective and stronger than the Nigerian Defence Force on the continent of Africa.
