Post-apocalyptic Military SF set in Africa

This one has stymied me for a decade at least. In the 1990s, I read a piece of military sci-fi that was set in Africa. I'll bullet point what I can remember and indicate my level of confidence in my memory:
-it was set after some sort of calamity, nuclear or environmental, that the world was starting to slowly recover from. (certain)
-I believe there was much talk of everyone living in domed cities to ride out the catastrophe, but that was now past. (nearly certain)
-the main event was a future war set in Africa combining futuristic technology with the extreme resource depletion of the post-apocalypse world (as in, manpower and things like fossil fuels were lacking) (pretty sure)
-the protagonists were mostly either Americans or American-derived (pretty sure)
-the antagonists were some kind of racist or maybe cannibalistic (?) civilization that came out of Africa, maybe South Africa, and was conquering the continent (this is a bit fuzzy)
-the book was a sort of future milSF but not as I recall very well-written. Pulp-ish. Not likely to have been by a major author. (certain)
-the book may have had a one-word title that was pretty generic (not at all sure of this, but it would help explain why repeated searches over years have never come close)
That might seem like a lot of things to remember about a real stumper like this, but boy has this one gotten the better of me. Help me r/whatsthatbook, you're my only hope.
Thanks in advance for anyone who has an idea, and I'll be checking back regularly.

Probably not the Draka series by S. M. Stirling since it doesn't match up with the things you seem most sure about, but I'll toss it out for consideration/elimination, just in case.

demetriosX. The Draka series was my first thought as well. In particular the novel Stone Dogs. As you noted, the domed city and post-apocalyptic setting doesn't quite mesh. But the other portions definitely do.

>2 DemetriosX:

I should have said right off that wasn't it. Funny enough, I never made the connection between the Draka books and this. Definitely not Draka, though, but a few of the same quirks.

My very vague memories of this book lead me to think it had a lot of questionable sex stuff in it. I seem to remember that the African bad guys were cannibals with dark skin who took over the apocalypse-proof domes of the better (and probably white) South Africans. Or something like that. It had some really bad racist imagery as I recall, which is why it has stayed with me. It would be great to hate-read it again.

I have an even more fuzzy memory that there were scenes of the bad guys (presumably dark of skin) forcing themselves on captive women in a very icky way.

The overall tone of the book doesn't match Stirling's alternate history vibe, either. For years I didn't look at it as military SF, but as a really bad Clancy-style techno thriller. As I remember, there was a lot of military tech porn in it. It had the feel of a bad Clancy-imitator who tried for a weird future setting. The apocalypse in the past allowed for schizo tech, and explained the weird blank slate of the politics--everyone was just coming out of their domes and bunkers, and there was a scramble for territory and resources in areas that had largely been depopulated.

As in my other reply, great idea, but no. I'm definitely familiar with the Draka books. This one was *much* less well-written.

This one was a guilty pleasure, like laughing at the political digressions in the later Tom Clancy stuff. It was silly, full of sex and irredeemable bad guys, with a very weird setting. The ultimate hate-read, and I probably got it at a yard sale. It cannot possibly be very well-known, and many years of searches have never given me any leads.
