It seems that the guys working over there are taking a different tack to how EO worked in Angloa and SL. Not sure if this is a good thing considering the obvious lack of communications and not great discipline from the Nigerian troops.
Interestingly the South African so-called Minister of Defence has been very scathing about this effort calling for the "mercenaries to be arrested and prosecuted" on their return to SA. I'm sure she has many good words to say about the efforts of the official South African response to BH and the vigorous support afforded to the west African nations by the SA military. |
It is all a bit of an insult to the SA government. President Zuma offered Nigeria SANDF troops for free. Goodluck Jonathan rejected the offer and instead took these quite expensive old soldiers who had been kicked out of the Army and Police because of Affirmative Action. Most are in their fifties now, but still more effective than the current troops in the SANDF. The irony of an African country preferring Apartheid era soldiers when they are really in trouble has not escaped our alleged government.
