They had an excellent expose of the attempted coupe of EG by
South African mercenaries( with Lady Thatcher's son and the Spanish government.

The South African government got wind of it and the mercenaries were detained in Zimbabwe and then shipped to EG for trial and sentence. Fron what it said, the Chinese now service Teodoro Obiang, the reigning witchdoctor( His predecessor used a magic skull to enforce decrees).
That's it maj. Thatcher's son pleaded out so he wouldn't be sent to EG for trial. You'll find a bunch of links from Amnesty International pleading with Zimbabwe to not extradite. EG had already tortured two of the German mercs to death at that point. A little odd how life tended to imitate art in the case of EG. A movie many years old with Ch. Walkin called "The Dogs of War" is a spooky precursor to future events in EG. Except, of course, it had a much happier ending for the local population. A shame it was only so in the movie version. A rather entertaining movie if you were raised on John Wayne fair as was I.
Hi majorian. The link you provided doesn't work in my area due to rights restrictions. Can you advise on other sources please?
Sorry, the video is on US public TV.
Here's hoping you can reach wikipedia.
