Hey , it's me Polandball , I had changed my channel look.

Africa sounds crazy man

Right. A movie. That's what Africa needs 🙄

Hopefully nollywood would step in.

Netflix miniseries 🙌🏿

The Dogs of War (reboot)

there was a british tv move based on this ..

Most of them did fight against Angola,Cuba in the South African Border war and Angolan civil war and when the South African Border war ended they helped Angola reclaim territories taken by Savimbi since 1992.

Simon Mann was never an owner of EO. In fact Eeben Barlow always disliked him

Very beautiful documentary

Hi

You are not very smart

Yes hats off to them.

Lol, you have never heard about Teodoro,? Come on.

That coup could have given the people of Equatorial Guinea a chance.

@@mrsoshadabaadman Mugabe stopped them in Solidarity with Obiang. U know a dictator would stand with his fellow dictator

@@aarongunnz9513 Yeah how sad. But none the less the Europeans have severly damaged out continent in Africa.

Cos he wasnt a black head of state

Thanks you so much

Simon Mann has the complexion for the protection. Europeans get on code for each other when it comes to holding themselves accountable for crimes against Blak ppl.

@@carcher3279 my question was really rhetorical. Racism is the guiding ingredient. May Africa realize its potential and follow it.

@@obynoomere1280 understood, brother. I wish the same.

Yeah, a lone assassin would have had a lot high chance of success. He has houses in Washington D.C. I doubt it would have been hard to get close to him there or poison him.

Thank you

There are some rumor that the Frenchman was having second thoughts and probably snitched

It's an African curse. As soon as they get into power they trample their voters !!!!!

Good.

Thank you

Thanks for this suggestion :)

@@AfricanBiographics there are a small repeticion with what you are said at 18:10. Beside that, great video

@@fmac6441 yep :(, thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for the feedback :)

You're going to get English.

You're going to get English.

Thank you

Thank you :)

He is not a good leader. He has been in charge of the Country for almost half a century.

@@thephoenix756 so what,

@@kaulumapaulus9234 A Country is more important than one man and shouldn't have been lorded over by his criminal uncle, him and soon, his son. It would be one thing if he was like Lee Kuan Yew, but he's the polar opposite.

@@kaulumapaulus9234 what sort of question is that ??

@@thephoenix756 I don't care how long he has been there, how is the economy, how are the people living. Is it a poor nation or not?

From stealing what? The oil or the country? The coup could have helped the ppl get their slice of all that oil money Obiang has been hoarding.

Frederick Forsyth wrote the novel "Dog's of War" in 1974. And it became a movie in 1980. That's 30 years before this iincident. No connection whatsoever.

@@CaptAnthonyPowell no connection except for a weird coincidence.

@@CaptAnthonyPowell Forsyth's novel was based on an actual coup plot he took part in (and partially financed with proceeds from previous hit novel Day of the Jackal) to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea and set up a puppet dictator to get at it's mineral resources. The elaborate planning details in the book was how he went about setting it up. The Spanish authorities (EG was a former Spanish colony) got wind of the plot and stopped the ship carrying the mercenaries and weapons at sea (in the Mediterranean l think). Forsyth was an "asset" for Brit intel and was doing it on behalf of Brit government and Brit companies with plausible deniability. The Thatcher plot followed some of the methods in the book and Brit intel was again involved.

Forsyth also just "happened" to be in Guinea Bisseau in 1997 when the pres and his main political rival the military chief were assassinated. Just coincidence really.

@@simplock Too many European "adventurers" have decided to involve themselves in regime change in Africa. I think they want to be the heroes of their own Boy's Own novel

Get a life

I thought so !!!!!

We dont if it would reset though, as the coup main plan was to give the coup planner easy acceat to equatorial Guinea oil wealth. So to do that they would put a another corrupt leader in power

Thank you

What's crazy is there have been 12 real and perceived unsuccessful coup attempts since Obiang took power.

So he can keep the money for himself

Lol, Carnivore Nairobi is legendary

Executive Outcomes and Eeben Barlow had nothing to do with Simon Manns botched coup attempt in 2004. Executive Outcomes had ceased operations some years prior to this coup attempt. Simon Mann was NOT the founder or even a founding member of Executive Outcomes. Executive Outcomes, again under Eeben Barlow, resumed operations again approx two years ago. Eeben Barlow is not impressed with Simon Mann or his lies and misrepresentations. Executive Outcomes have only ever take contracts as Private Military Contractors with recognized and legitimate governments.

We really don't care for white devils coming on this platform talking about security (mercenaries). All they do is find reasons to legitimize ways to destroy African people. Insecurity is their stock in trade. For example, their weapons would be passed on the Congo if they were successful. Again contributing to more destruction and insecurity. African people are not dirt. VALUE OUR HUMANITY

Pan African saved another Pan African, get it right.

@@petestreet100 Exactly! This was not liberation mission of the people of Equatorial Guinea but a mission of greed by westerners wanted to get unfettered access to the oil of the country. Apples and Oranges here.

@@sivuyilemtsi9840 correct. Thatcher should be in jail.

One dictator saved another dictator from being replaced by a aspirant dictator.

Question should be why they were so willing to sell arms to an ex Apertheid mercenary. See how God set it all up😂😂😂. They're all blood thirsty seeds of bloody Cain.

You are welcome :)

Hahahaha

Nigerian of Lebanese decent

@@Freedom-qf5jf He's still viewed by outsiders (the world at large) as a Nigerian.

@@Freedom-qf5jf true Lebanese are a name even In Haiti where they form the oligarchs who are believed to have killed the late president jovenel Moïse

How many countries problems are CAUSED by colonizers?

I think it was pressure from the western forces. Because even Mark Thatcher did not serve his full sentence, from the pressure of the British government at the behest of his mother.

Must have bn arm twisted by the west as usual maybe he was threatened they would not buy his oil the countries lifeline

Angola never had any president called Taylor

@@nobs997 Nonsense. You can accuse Mugabe of many things but never a crook

@@jimbojones6897 Didn't he launder money and give farms to his closest political affiliates. Or rather what did he and didn't do?

in the interests of being entirely fair to Mugabe, the farms thing was less an example of close political friend cronyism as mostly trying to reward his soldiers from his guerilla days of course, the results were not great with the ensuing famines and sanctions, but just meant to clarify his intentions on that topic

I wish that African governments had made a public example of those coup organisers because unless there is a psychological deterrent then others are going to try again there and elsewhere and they may not always be unsuccessful. The continent must show determination to turn the historical corner and press onward.

Otherwise they will pardon you lmao

Africans aren't competent to do that kind of thing

That’s a nice way to get overthrown
