You probably shouldn't talk about your father and his past on the net, that is his business, not yours

@@Antipodean33 What a ludicrous position to take. You have just watched a documentary containing peoples families, comrades and journalist talking about them in the third person, you have just watched it yourself and by your logic their business is none of yours and finally you assume that this person's experience, as they relate it isn't theirs to talk about. They didn't mention their father's name, not even their own. I served in SF and my children or wife are free to relate that to people as they see fit. If there is something I don''t want them to relate I don't tell them in the first place. If you think what people do in war is their business then don't be a hypocrite and watch docos about them.

@@Antipodean33 Information is freedom. Give up the coveting of secrets and a new era awaits you.

EO and Sandline were the first PMCs I made contact with.. good men doing quiet work, not ALWAYS quietly! lol

A lot less narrative and a lot more truth

Whatever the eff you say, yea they were great killers, lovey chaps that never dispatched the innocent hell no because they always knew who was the enemy. And it don't surprise me or many that the western world has a company like this, with association with govts like the UK and the US. Atleast the Russians do only what is legal and only goes where it is invited. Oh, and leaves when asked, not like the US who once in a country it is very hard to get rid of them. For instance Germany who wanted (asked) the US to go in 2014, Syria who they are also stealing the oil from the fields they "guard"" from ISIS who they own anyway. Then Japan, been occupied for nearly ever, South Korea. They even occupy part of China, as Taiwan is part of China and the US agrees with that and it is stated on their embassy website. I could full the page and more with more examples.

Are you nuts

Wow, thanks totally random citizen of the world who is definitely not at all affiliated with Executive Outcomes (tm)! It certainly sounds like no matter what the obstacle, you can always count on EO's demonstrably experienced personnel and leadership to accomplish...well, just about anything!* Please, tell me more about the professionalism and skill of Executive-Outcomes (r) (c)! _*(that involves mechanically murdering people)_

They quite literally didnt achieve anything, look at these countries nowadays, youre completely deluded lmaooooo

One of the big issues is Western (and more recently eastern) countries want extraction deals where they get 95+% of the profit. If the government says no, they could expect blacklisting from any banking deals, sanctions, and ultimately a coup. The next leader would be hand picked by the west. The saudis play ball, Iran doesn't. Both have rights issues, but we only have issues with one.

Ya both can be right… just Sonya know..

woah so weird how Africa can't fix their own issues when every time they try western military bases suddenly lose a bunch of weapons which suddenly shows up in the hands of some coup coronel. so weird!

Issues created by whom? 😂😂😂😂.

So your implying seria Leone was doing great before it was saved by the west hahahahah. Do some homework

True!

brotherman, they only advanced the interestes of their foreign investors, THAT is their job as a company. i mean, i have to question the sense in comparing a private company with a multinational political body to begin with. both have fundamentally different goals.

"Owned by Pigs" Reminiscent of the book 'Animal Farm' modeling the joys of egalitarian communism. Where all animals are equal, but after the revolution overthrew the oppressor, the sheep discover some animals are more equal than others. Rather reminiscent of the Marxist terrorists of the ANC, with Winnie Mansella and other ANC freedom fighters "necklacing" blacks that wouldn't fall in line after the ANC was in control delivering Marxist utopia to the now freed sheep. "Never saw violent Marxist terrorists ever do that before!", said nobody ever.

Thank God we have you, where would we be. So many hero's on the one page

the date in the title is indicative of that - but insightful comment

Eeben Barlow, the original founder of EO, has reformed them. Last year.

Wow. What a braindead comment. Journeyman always posts older documentaries. It's not meant to be a current affairs channel, you ding dong.

Are you this stupid or is this an act you put on for yt?

maybe i'd like to watch a documentary from 1997!

Evil are desparate at this moment

Really weird that some KZfaq Rando would have the one and only thing pop into their head:"BBBUUUTTT... Muh CIA!" Yeah, all the links with these groups brought in to deal with Marxist terrorists like the ANC in these former British Colonies were American - not Brits. MI6 told the CIA to stop that American drinking coffee thing and sip tea instead? This propaganda mocumentary was specifically made and edited to target useful Idiots like this Rando.

@@nospoon4799 not entirely true. If the world around you is falling apart and your own government cannot protect you and is in danger of being overrun as well and makes a call to a company thousands of kilometers away and that has nothing to do with either you or your country or your troubles and your own government and its army and police that are there to protect you cannot help you then what options do you have ? Are you going to point a finger and judge the people that hear your cry for help and say they are willing to travel thousand of kilometers with all their equipment and manpower to come and do a job you and your government cannot do but for a price? A price which your government is willing to pay for the acquisition of these man and there entire operation and everything that goes with it and comes along with it including them having to give up their lives if need be or stand the chance of loosing their lives . Those governments paid in the only currency they had available , a currency which very likely would have been taken by the same people that threatened your livelihood and well-being as well as that of your country . More often than not this company had to finance their entire setup and move from country A to B with the only deposit or upfront payment so to say being in the form of an agreement or deal in the form of a mining concession on good faith once the shit had been sorted out and removed so that peace and some form of normality could prevail and people could go back to their homes and try to rebuild their lives. EO was a business and they ran it very efficiently and professionally. Trust me, when things go south and your world turns upside down and your life becomes a living shit show and a fight for survival , these are the type of people you want around you and working for you . Way more efficient than the UN ,way more effective and at a fraction of the cost by a mile. Also as far as morals go , they only worked for governments that were legally elected , no dictators or self imposed rulers or those put in place to rule as puppets for foreign masters and their interests just like the US does as well as a few other countries in the EU I could mention. You like pretty much everyone else out there wouldn’t work for free, why on earth would you expect them to work for free and at the risk of them loosing their own lives in another country fixing up someone else mess and problems. Their charity was that they were prepared to come and do the job that nobody else was willing or prepared to do , never mind capable of doing.

They fought with UNITA out of convenience. Savimbi wasa dyed in the wool Maoist and UNITA committed its fair share of atrocities against the Portuguese fleeing Angola. I think your "loyal" sentiments are misplaced. UNITA also had the benefit of claiming many actions that were actually SADF actions as their own successes. UNITA was also supported by elements of MI in the Nineties so they could keep earning blood diamond money on the sly.

Conquered people join their conquerors to in turn be the foot soldiers to conquer others. Need for money and fame over honor is what makes this happen. I cannot think of a greater shame that can befall someone.

@edmundwessels2072 They supported Unita and fought in many of the same battles but not with them. Savimbi was the lessor or the two evils at the time and the relationship was one of mutual convenience at best. More like an agreement to get along with the enemy of your enemy . They were also by no means a fan of him. He might have been portrayed as this larger than life charismatic man , but the truth was that he was a power hungry ego maniac and a ruthless murdering son of bitch. Had it not been for the role of convenience or necessity he played , there were several occasions where certain high ranking military people had to be held back or even restrained from putting a bullet between his eyes because of his behavior towards his own people and on the battlefield.

@@Leec_1972 ... Not true... I was with that "MI" lot that you so conveniently malign without having been there... MI was a military organization, not a criminal cartel. Where would MI have sold these diamonds, and which of their "Bank Accounts" would they have used? How would MI have divided the loot? I worked inside of UNITA from 1977 thru 1979. Height of the involvement and at the top level. Go away and stop commenting on stuff that you wish you could have been involved in.

​@@garylandman7889 You were not the only one who served in the SADF. MI acted like a criminal cartel. Why did they keep supporting UNITA after the war? Why were people connected with MI so invested in keeping the diamond fields under UNITA hands in secret AFTER the war ended? Yes they did act like a criminal cartel and they went to great lengths to destroy those that tried to stop it. Look at Angola since your buddies have not been ravaging the place and recruiting child sildiers. How do you know where I was or where I wasn't. Jonas Savimbi was an avowed Maois who p on a Chrisian facade to fool people like you and yes UNITA was inviolved in atrocities against the Portuguese. So you can "go away".

When you bend over for the oil execs, do they use lube?

​@@quintinsmith5400 you do realize that if western countries can't exploit the resources of African countries, they sabotage them in myriad ways to get them destabilized to get more amenable leadership. The video literally showed mercenaries killing to get mines back for to western controlled puppet governments rather than the local population. When you hear the term "rebel fighter", it often means person that doesn't want resources stolen from the country.

​@@quintinsmith5400Yes, explain how much better SA is now since the ANC Marxist terrorists came to power and turned Winnie Mandela loose to "necklace" blacks who wouldn't get with the ANC program. How the common man is now safer and better off economically. And why both black and white professionals continue to flee the Marxist mecca that the ANC has made it. This should be good!

Journey man documentaries always biased and pushing a narrative and agenda for someone . Sadly when funded by a group that has an agenda it’s what usually happens . There are so many good documentaries on EO, this one is probably one of the worst I’ve seen.

I'm sure you really did good things and won't go to hell

​@@GiantstalkingI'm sure the Marxist terrorist revolutionaries like the ANC made life better in South Africa with their "necklacing" of blacks that didn't get with the program after they came to power. Equally likely that as Marxists, like Lenin, Stalin, Mao, they're all cult members of The Rock Fairy Religion Of Atheism... therefore, no worries about going to hell for terrorist acts, because it doesn't exist.

Sorry, but what "crucial information" can lighten the image about a company that murdered, tortured and pillaged?

@@whynotjustmyusername How about crucial information that there's no mention that these groups were primarily there in the first place due to the murder, torture, and pillaging of Marxist terrorists like the ANC? Oh wait... you didn't know all these terrorist "freedom fighters" are exactly like Hamas and Hezbollah - including killing more of their people for not getting with the program than they do the "enemy"? You pay this kind of money to hire armed security with experience fighting terrorists because your problem is people blocking the sidewalks in front of your offices? Picketing stores selling your products?
