message: :Image:Sadc logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

message: I think it's worth mentioning that SADC is normally (certainly in South African news) treated as a quasi-acronym and pronounced something like "sadeck" (with a short "a"). I'm not sure how to enter it properly though. I'm having enough trouble explaining how it's said here... Warrickball (talk) 16:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

message: For your attention -- the UN doc used as a source for the country populations appears to be off. For example, the DRC is listed as having a population of 30 mil here, but in reality, it appears the population is closer to 80 mil (according to most other sources).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.0.13.50 (talk) 07:59, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

message: The aim of the SADC Brigade is to facilitate post-conflict demilitarization, demobilization and humanitarian assistance in conflict areas and those struck by natural disasters. Established in 2007, the Brigade is an instrument of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security to establish and maintain peace, security and political stability in the region.It consists of military, police and civilians from the SADC region and is overseen by the SADC Committee of Chiefs of Defence staff and the Committee of SADC Police Chiefs. The Brigade’s training operations and activities are based in Zimbabwe at the Regional Peacekeeping Training Centre. 
SADC has deployed the Brigade in 1998 for military interventions in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Lesotho. In December 2017, the regional force was deployed again to  Lesotho following the killing of a top army commander that resulted in political and civil unrest in the country.
