Not a peep was raised by the west in 1978 when a few hundred school kids were abducted by a terrorist movement. Today , we don't hear the end of the Boko Haram abductions. This is what happens when terrorists are appeased. It comes back to bite the appeasers in the ass. Sometimes quicker than others, but the wheel will turn,
It is Ascension Day today. On Ascension Day 36 years ago, 376 SADF Paratroopers attacked a fortified SWAPO military base in Angola, consisting of many thousands of PLAN soldiers, both male and female, as well as a handful of small children. The children had been kidnapped three weeks before the raid from a school two hundred Km to the south in Namibia.This was done to fool a UN inspection committee that Cassinga had a refugee element to it. The UNHCR would then supply the SWAPO base with food, money and medicine. This ruse by SWAPO enabled them to run their terrorist army at UN expense, but it also tragically exposed these children to any attack on the base. Luckily, only one or two kids were hurt during a preliminary bombing run before the airborne drop took place. After a full days hard battle, the SWAPO defenders surrendered, thus confining their casualties to around a thousand dead and many more wounded. The victorious paratroopers destroyed huge stockpiles of ammunition and a Cuban armoured column before withdrawing back to South West Africa. Four South African Paratroopers were killed and about 12 wounded. SWAPO celebrates Cassinga Day as a public holiday and are, to this day, unable to admit their fraud perpetrated on the UN. They maintain the pre tense that Cassinga was a refugee camp, although the truth is now emerging in Namibia from the survivors who surrendered and lived to tell the tale.
