SIERRA LEONE: REBELS LOYAL TO OLD REGIME STILL FIGHTING ECOMOG

The leader of Sierra Leone's overthrown military junta fled the West African country on Sunday, leaving for neighbouring Liberia by boat.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian-led intervention force continued restoring law and order and threatened to shoot looters on sight.
The ECOMOG troops were still fighting soldiers loyal to the old regime in a few areas of the capital, Freetown, which they captured over the weekend.
APTV had the only international television crew with the forces as they advanced on the last pockets of rebel resistance.
Here, six motorised units of the Nigerian-led intervention force ECOMOG help the force consolidate its grip on Sierra Leone after the weekend victory over rebel forces.
This is Goderich, a traditionally rebel area on the west of the capital, Freetown.
Rebel forces loyal to the overthrown junta are still fighting ECOMOG here and in some other areas.
Hence the show of ECOMOG force.
Local civilians seem to welcome that.
Following the weekend's victory, the peacekeepers now want to start restoring law and order.
Looters will be shot on sight, they announced on Sunday.
These troops launched their offensive last week to drive the country's military junta from power.
It appears to be the first time that outside African military forces have been used to restore an elected African government, rather than topple it.

The comments of all these old war videos are full of absolute gold!
Man still can't believe my parents and I survived this hell. Thank you lord.
God bless us all. (Turn to Christ today, not forcing religion, but urging to have a relationship with him.
They really were having a blast. Soldiers and civilians were very happy and enthusiastic in the middle of the fight.

True Fact: At somewhat an early stage of the war, the Sierra Leonean government contracted a company of mercenaries from South Africa. Within a relatively short time, they obliterated the rebels, forcing them to sign a peace deal and effectively ending the war. However, the UN soon after forced the Sierra Leonean government to end the contract with the mercenaries and war resumed shortly after for about 6 more years.
Who were the mercs
@@mongoloidkongloid5489 Executive Outcomes
@@mongoloidkongloid5489 Executive Outcome. They were former Apartheid soldiers
@mongoloid kongloid mainly white South africans. However, there were also Angolans and nambians who fought with them during the border present
@@thelonewanderer2550 no mainly black south africans led by whites it was Executive Outcomes under Eeben Barlow ,they have 1 M24-Hind and 2 M-8 Helicopters who rule the battlefield
Man. Some sharp military precision on display here.
Darkside D Ha!
Civilians literally every where else during a war: hiding and running for their lives
Civilians in Africa: dancing in the midde of a battle with the soldiers
that's really sad you know right?
even if they are against the rebels they hide it and show support to them in order to save theirs lives.i'll do so!greetings from Gabon.
I guess you have not experienced war in reality apart those war movies you watched.

Thanks in advance to the Nigerian soldiers for their intervention to liberate Sierra- Leone country and restoring peace and orders from misruling government affairs under the military junta. Nigerian Ecomog soldiers taught a good lesson to the Sierra-Leone rebel fighters and defeating them mercifully in the country Sierra-Leone. Well done.
The Nigerian army dropped cluster bombs on civilians in that war
The author of this post doesn’t even know how to wipe their own ass

Dancing..shooting..no blood or enemies..people want peace!..sordiers look very happy! Wild crazy africa
In most war footage you never see the enemy. They could be a hundred meters or more away
Media sheep
@@dale27488 w
Hat do u No. ☠️
have you ever been in combat? have you every watched any Vietnam combat footage? you rarely see any blood or enemies. Where are you from?
Actually if you really want to see blood and guts and the enemy engaging each other go put in "the empire in Africa Documentary. Its about an hour and half long, but you will see plenty of nasty things that war can bring... if you can handle it. The first time I watch it, it was in 2016. I wasn't grossed out only because I am combat veteran who fought in Iraq, and had seen all the blood and guts from there, so it doesn't bother me much. Good luck if you are not use to it, but I hope you enjoy.
0:59 what an amazing piece of cinematography, whoever edited it deserves an oscar. really, the contrast between this scene and the next at 1:03 is amazing
Wea wan peace
And the first girl running while singing No More War
Ignorance is all over you. Pray never to be caught in tight corner where you'll call a he goat my king for not to be killed
Looks like the rebels are having fun.
Inland Empire Community Watch eldistnciflik
Inland Empire Community Watch they are not rebels and evry army use drugs. Before go to war they wil put drugs in your water otherwise you Will be afraid of bullets so you create Rambo s
Amen
How not supposed to have fun? They high!
@n/a peace is impossible when imperialist countries provoke war
We want peace, No more war. Those words gave me goosebumps
Omg !!! 😲 such highly trained individuals 👏
You're joking, right?
The soldier didn't realize that 1 bullet he threw away could kill 1 person
They firering to scare away any remaining rebel fighters
These guys are better off singing and dancing than fighting 🎤🎤🎤👏👏

This is like The Performing Arts of combat.
There's no enemy they're just acting ,camera is in focus. Film title: Black is black ,there you are.
0:38 Yoo, homeboy over here shooting a mortar round with his bare hands. Goddamn, his hands must be callused asf to not feel the heat of that thing going off inside the tube.
Africa... I thought this was LA on a Saturday night 👻
Same here hahaha, ooga boogas hahaah
Exactly!
I believe the place is called Sierra Leone, not “Africa”.
Nothing but the best Clark
0:59 "we want peace" :D
Good
They unleash their sense of humor during war
Respect to nigeria soldiers and air forces who gave their all to restore peace in serria lone. Even the United states can't win in Vietnam.
America and Vietnam would defeat Nigeria 🇳🇬 Nigeria is a failure
Then go back to Nigeria..What are you doing in USA
Kenya too
Because it's within their Borders you daft donkey.
Two different wars. Restoring peace wasn't even a cakewalk when there's so much Problems this country has to deal with.
Still, I give my respect to these peacekeepers, preventing more raping..
I love how the guy at 0:32 has gardening gloves like my mom has lessgooo!!
those look like the snowboarding gloves my family keeps from the 90s
construction gloves
In Africa those are called “war gloves” LOL.....TIA

They are acting up for The cameras. You see how there is a crowd behind The tank....
They moved the civilian behind them for safety and smooth operations. Or you easily forget how Hamas operate too ?
Advanced civilizations have created weapons to protect their achievements.
Makes sense!

Those sweet AKM, FN FAL and G3 rifles

@@sourmash5715 yes because an oil producing nation with the biggest economy in africa can only afford knock offs. My joy is the better bred and educated westerners have a little more sense than the ignorant trailer trash such as yourself.
@johny 56 key words bud..... in Africa = still a complete shithole.....you need a mop for your tears, bitch?
Kron Hertz yea seeing an SLR OR G3 being used like that is sad they are weapons for professionals.
This world is beautifull

And that crowd behind a tank!!! What were they thinking? 🤔 🤔 🤔
1:39 There accuracy at shooting is just blinding. No wonder that the war has been going on for so long, they are just dancing and shooting.
2:13 "Over, Carrot, carrot mouth" 😂
Wow
Shit not funny and the war is over. I grew up during the war and loss family members
@@chinardtaylor6864 Dont bother with these people bro, it's easier for them crack jokes behind a computer screen.
@@strechemall thanks
@@countbooga6997 that's not funny
God bless Ecomog.
The best "special" force in the world... But special like in the SPECIAL OLYMPICS...
To be fair in their neck of the woods they're the goddamned SAS, not because they're as good as the SAS but because the training of most other forces there consists of "here gun, here how to shoot gun."
May God help Africa
Dawn the new Black Panthers 2 look so sweet
😂😂😂
Yes
Only in Africa where in the middle of a war you can party on the battlefield
How did they get this footage of Sweden

Shouldn't title say this was filmed in 1998 for clarification? It kind of made it sound it was happening when posted
These guys are hilarious.......
worlds most elite forces. . . .
They said we want peace but just before they were shooting motoars into nowhere
The civilians are shouting we want peace and the mortar men are lobbing rounds towards their foe lol
Nice job
Are they on training or what. Those ppl doesn't know how to use a weapon
No they're on some racist amhara shit just like you smarty ..
@@segniw2 bruh how is what he said racist?
@@mrmerperls7383 hahaha idk ..I guess I was a crack head last year. I take it back, makes no sense to me now lol.
Exactly just shooting tf
Wow great army
Precision 5000%
Enemy on ground, guns in air!
Smart gun 😂😂😂
To scare the enemy ....it's a strategy.
That’s our proud Nigerian soldiers doing what they know how to do best, that was the good old days not what we have now that civilians have interfered and messed up our revered army
This is exactly why the Europeans managed to conquer all of Africa with flags and a handful of rifles.
Luke ross Exactly you are right
the fuck he is! it was divide and rule from when cortez conquered the aztecs through to Africa. they allied with one side and after defeating the common enemy they would then betray their allies. how stupid are you guys? read history much?
That's true
Laf Klinic i hope you imbeciles understand that the actual fighting was over and these lads are playing for the cameras. morons
johny 56 You are the only sensible fellow here
What part of chiraq is this?
everyone there is high af or is just me?
No, it's just Africa.
@@glebb..3416 thank you, i thought this was the Bronx
That's why jackal is the best charaters in codmw
This is his party , not war
Civilians standed by armies while war was being waged. What a mess.
I don't get it are they shooting the trees.
They lack the training and knowledge of firearm training, outside of pointing a gun and shooting. Its more common in rebel factions, that’s why you usually see people shooting guns sideways or shooting guns anywhere.
Damn....... Chicago looks rough!!
I'm sorry. But the only thing that I've could remember while watching this video is the movie "Who killed captain Alex?"
Wait, is this London or Paris? I can't tell anymore.
Vrai animal walah 😢😢
All right
Весёлая у них войнуха: танцы, песни, пляски, бабы!
А кто с кем воюет?

No phones no Computers, just people living in the moment
when you give a 10 years old a gun
We wanna peace
Were they holding mortar tubes with one hand and dropping the mortars in with the other lol? That's kinda bad ass but mostly stupid
normally in army they train 60 mm mortar team like that for quick supressing fire for close range like 200 m to 1.5km. it look stupid but at close quarters it works. but these days armies dont need that weapon.
Mais um escrito novo
они даже незнаюткуда стрелять просто шум подымают😂
тоже для меня похоже что это просто дешёвая пропаганда.
I see that they make use of a lot of tactical blind fire
Это не война а цирк
Все прыгают и танцуют, так и запутаешься с кем воюешь.
is this like a reinactment
well its not, you ever been to war?
Nope, real footage, real war.
