Renewed Global Interest in the Merkava

Besides Columbia, what are the other of the several foreign militaries?

possibly india???.....
I understood that Columbia was interested in Arjun first, but now it's out of the pic and Merkava rolled in.
I can only guess: Azerbaijan, Singapore...

Columbia is Washington DC.
Singapore is/has just upgraded its Leopard 2A4s and Azerbaijan has just ordered T-90s IIRC
In Finnish its Kolumbia, so its easy to get it wrong.
Besides Colombia I can see Azerbaijan and Thailand interested. I've also heard Kenya is interested in acquiring a Western-style MBT but finds them too expensive, if Israel can lower the price enough they'd probably buy.
Just rumors AFAIK.
Not exactly "rumor", but they haven't signed a contract yet, still negotiating, however according to the source negotiations are at a final stage.
According to 'Israel Defense' (only an article in Hebrew for now) the Colombians seem to be interested in purchasing between 25 to 40 Merkava MK4s.
A bit too heavy for Thailand landcape, no??and Thailand interested
Isn't there are too mountain landscape for Merkava in possible places where the tank could be used?

I mean on boarders and especially in Karabah's region
Azerbaijani Land Forces have some T-90's and old T-72's for some reason already. Merkavas could be used in the same terrain in Azerbaijan.
Merkavas performance on the Golan Heights is excellent.
