Oh I see this was a Coup masterminded by the United Nations. Excuse me my ignorance (here's Lucy) I thought it was some opportunistic mercenaries who wanted to plunder the resources.

Only if you read the Independent.

So EG is a tuliphole. We knew that. But don't tell me that this set of buffoons were doing it to save the poor benighted people. All they cared about was putting in a regime that would allow them to plunder. I suspect if it was worse than the current one that would not bother them one little bit.

Every regime plunders to some extent. I don't think it would have been possible for the replacement regime to have been worse than the existing one.
But OK, let's raise it with the UN, no worries, they'll sort it.

As usual Lucy, you are defending the indefensible.

1/ These guys were mercenaries acting unilaterally
2/ they were doing this for money, people like this will quite happily swap sides for money

3/ They knew the risks


The only thing I am sorry for, is the fact MT did not stand trial.

Indeed. The idea of him rotting in an EG prison would have given me great pleasure.
So to answer your question ace, no I don't give a crap about Simon Mann.

As usual?

EG is a filthy regime who need to be taken out. If the same thing was happening in Zimbabwe no-one would bat an eyelid. EG just isn't in the media as much. The whole BBC 'Africa is a great place' bs.

Yes they were mercenaries, they had the backing of several governments and the UK knew about what was going on too.

Please leave the politics to people who understand it and go back to your abacus or whatever it is you play with.

Facts, I deal in facts dear. Not Rapturist fantasy.

Care to list the governments?

Wasn't it you who wanted to free Tibet?
