    Now I understand why Barlow said about Mann that he was an idiot. Only an idiot would work with Thatcher, the guy is clearly roten to the core, yet the men in the ground were the ones to pay. Also in defence of EO probably they were approach to deal with this matter and they refuse, I think this is the most important point on the animosity Barlow showed to Mann. Barlow has spent his entire carrer on the business trying to show everyone that there are other kind of mercs, yet their associates were playing like the good old mercs.

The elaborate planning details in the book was how he went about setting it up. The Spanish authorities (EG was a former Spanish colony) got wind of the plot and stopped the ship carrying the mercenaries and weapons at sea (in the Mediterranean l think).

Simon Mann was NOT the founder or even a founding member of Executive Outcomes. Executive Outcomes, again under Eeben Barlow, resumed operations again approx two years ago. Eeben Barlow is not impressed with Simon Mann or his lies and misrepresentations. Executive Outcomes have only ever take contracts as Private Military Contractors with recognized and legitimate governments.

    Few of the same gang of mercenaries plotted to kidnap President Taylor of Angola but the payment for the delivery did not go through and the plot was abandoned, Retired Col. Bob Kovacic was the head of the team to deliver President Taylor to the principals who conspired the plot.

      I wish that African governments had made a public example of those coup organisers because unless there is a psychological deterrent then others are going to try again there and elsewhere and they may not always be unsuccessful. The continent must show determination to turn the historical corner and press onward.

      in the interests of being entirely fair to Mugabe, the farms thing was less an example of close political friend cronyism as mostly trying to reward his soldiers from his guerilla days
      of course, the results were not great with the ensuing famines and sanctions, but just meant to clarify his intentions on that topic
