#55 erc rodson,

well my post related the way our mines sites in Niger weren’t well securised, because of local reasons, government putchiste that didn’t want our nationals as contractors, etc, also because some enterprises neglected the AKMI nuisance, uncertainty of the locals ment to protect our nationals working there, explained here in French:

Since these events, we managed to have some troops and a intellligence service there, idem planes for reconnaissance…

yes the Tirailleurs Sénégalais were magnifiques, as also our Meharistes, our Atlas fithters (Algerian/Maroccan), les Goumiers Marocains, les Spahis…

but they were enframed by our military, thus faithful to us, which isn’t the case anymore if we enrol people from the same places
