TOP 10 AFRICAN COUNTRIES WITH MOST POWERFUL INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES

Pakistan shockingly has the world's most powerful intelligence agency in the world, despite the likes of Mossad, CIA and the rest. Africa is also not left behind, and here is the list of the top 10 countries with the most powerful intelligence agencies in Africa.
10 Tanzania
The Tanzania Intelligence and Security Service is the national intelligence and security agency of Tanzania. The Agency works closely with other national and international intelligence agencies and security organs in the promotion and maintenance of peace, safety, and security in and outside Tanzania’s borders.

 9 Ethiopia
Despite recent unrest in the country, Ethiopia still ranks highly among African countries with powerful intelligence agencies. The agency has the capacity to detect crime, and that's how the nation has always averted criminality until recently.
The National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) is an intelligence agency of the Ethiopian federal government tasked with gathering information of national interest.
The NISS is under the provision of the Ministry of Peace. It reports to the ministry on its tasks and missions. It was re-established in 2013 and renamed the National Intelligence and Security Service.

8 Ghana
The Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) is the internal intelligence agency of Ghana. The BNI is an integral part of the National Security Council, which oversees matters of counterintelligence and internal security in Ghana. 
7 Nigeria
The State Security Service (SSS), self-styled as the Department of State Services (DSS), is a security agency of Nigeria and one of three successor organizations to the National Security Organization (NSO). The agency is under the presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and it reports its activities to the office of the NSA.

6 Rwanda
The National Intelligence and Security Service is the internal intelligence agency of Rwanda and it is ranked among the top 10 most lethal intelligence agencies in Africa due to its ability to reduce crime in Rwanda by detecting and averting crime.
Crime in Rwanda is relatively low despite cases of burglary, bag snatching, and bugging, which are common crimes literally in every city across Africa and, to me, don't necessitate a big army of security like NISS.

5 Uganda
The Internal Security Organization (ISO) is the Uganda government's counter intelligence agency responsible for providing national security intelligence to Uganda's policymakers.
ISO is composed of professional intelligence officers recruited from all over Uganda and trained at its training institute, the Institute of Intelligence and Security Studies. Upon being passed out, the operatives are sworn to protect Ugandans and their property and are deployed all over the country.
4 South Africa
The National Intelligence Agency (NIA) was the previous name of the intelligence agency of the South African government. Currently, it is known as the Domestic Branch of the State Security Agency. It is responsible for domestic and counter-intelligence within the Republic of South Africa.
3 Morocco
Morocco has one of the most powerful intelligence agencies on the continent, assigned several duties, among which are to ensure that the King is safe on the throne.
The General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance is the internal intelligence agency of the Moroccan state. It is tasked with monitoring potentially subversive domestic activities and aversion. Prior to 2005, it was known as the Direction de la Surveillance du Térritoire.

2 Egypt
The National Security Agency, also known as Homeland Security, is an Egyptian security service, the main domestic security agency in Egypt and the successor of the State Security Investigations Service.
Its main responsibilities are counter-intelligence, internal and border security, counter-terrorism, and surveillance. 
1 Kenya
Kenya is believed to have the best intelligence agency in East Africa and later in Africa.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) is a disciplined civilian intelligence agency established under Article 242 of the Constitution of Kenya (2010) to be primarily responsible for security intelligence and counterintelligence, besides performing other functions prescribed by national legislation.
 
The National Intelligence Service (NIS), which was previously known as the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS), is both the domestic and foreign intelligence agency of Kenya, unlike other countries which have entirely separate agencies in charge of security.
 It had its origins in "Special Branch," a department of the national police that was created in 1952 under the British administration. Among other things, it provided intelligence during the Mau Mau uprising.

I'm amazed you put Ethiopian NISS number 9 despite being under reform many times it is the oldest strongest and the most experienced intelligence agency in Africa. In fact it was established when the other countries were under there colonies. 🇪🇹 🇪🇹 🇪🇹

[kalamuwilliam]

Kenyan spies have reportedly gone to the extent of recruiting in alshabaab for under cover operations...respect🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

[seremkipchirchir]

NIS, always proud of their work of keeping our motherland safe & stable . As their motto: Apti Parati Fideles, ” meaning “Sure, Ready, Faithful.”

[godfreyndungu]

Kenya 🇰🇪 has a professionaly well trained and well equipped intelligence thanks to Al shabaab. Now Kenya can detect and solve problematic situations very quickly.

[patrickverified]

Rwanda is number one in Africa based on internationally known operations.

Y' all read news you will always find Rwanda among very few countries using every top intelligence system that one couldn't even think of for an African country.

Rwanda has always managed to deal with Uganda because it has more power on intelligence, just recently when Uganda capital Kampala was facing many terrorist attacks, Rwanda's capital Kigali was arresting terrorists before they carry out their terror attacks, Rwanda's intelligence has helped its military to expand across Africa like now in Mozambique and Central African Republic, and in many UN missions and the intelligence plays a big role in making sure their operations are successful.

[genesisbera]

I totally agree, the Kenyan NIS is feared even by Kenyans themselves

[batanaimadzima]

Powerful in suppressing their citizens not intelligence in thwarting external threats or being ready for them

[jimmy-qksj]

I wonder why people underate Tanzania always

[DENISTMwangomo]

I think the reporter does not have a clue of how powerful the Tanzania Security agency is

[positive.vibez]

Do your research well and get better details before you come here to rank Intelligence Agencies in Africa. You even named SSS as No. 7 which is just so funny and laughable to be candid. This shows you have little or nothing about the right information. Do you know how many of these African countries come to train with SSS? Well, let me leave the matter: You made your video based on your limited knowledge.

[NabawanukaChristine-ilmv]

In Uganda CMI is more favorite than ISO

[mohamedbjdr]

For me I think the Algerian is the best in Africa 🌍

[davykaze]

yup this video was made without enough info.
Pakistan "ISI" is not even in the top three powerful agencies. CIA has relatively little control over the government, that's real power and ISI doesn't have that power.
"NISS" is Ethiopian not Rwandan
"RIB" is Rwandan
"GID" is Egyptian, it's not NSA (NSA is American🤦‍♂)


do some research next time

[kalamuwilliam]

And now kenya has become a major non NATO ally...so just wait and see😂

[chriswamai]

Kenya's NIS is the most respected in Africa and Global, believe that

[zakisaid]

SOMALIA NUMBER ONE IN AFRICA NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SECURITY AGENCY (NISA🇸🇴👀)

[cqadarliibaan]

A Kenyan lady marketing her countries very far from fact but kudos for bragging your country.

[malitiemmanuel]

I hate lying!
ISO beats Kenyan intelligence so bad that it's practically not in the top 10 of Africa! It is structural and power issues that it lacks.
Paying another country to spy on your behalf is the worst idea that should never happen to a country.
Those who have clicked, know and those who don't will never know! 😊

[dovicdc]

Just wrong information, Moroccan intelligence services are the best intelligence services in the Arab world before Egypt who comes in 2 positions in arab word. Morocco has the best intelligence services even in Africa

[gadi]

Kenya NIS #1? Is that why Tererism never happen in Kenya? Himmm, mrs host!
