The rumbling armored convoys poured into the city with unparalleled murderous intent. On the streets, the bad boys who were in the midst of riots and carnival were frightened and fled in all directions. In the blink of an eye, no one was left on the city streets.
.
I have to admire that Uncle Hei is still very discerning!
We know that eggs don’t touch stones.
The streets of Conakry quickly emptied of people, leaving only the mess and burning tires, vehicles, and armored convoys rumbling forward. Only some bold black boys hid in the darkness of the streets and peeped.
.
Suddenly, the 20mm Bushmaster cannon on the armored vehicle fired a "boom, boom, boom" sound in the empty night sky, scaring the thugs into running away again. This time, no one could even be seen.
After the long line of convoys entered the city, they quickly divided into small groups and went about their own business. The large group of people gathered on the street near Honghe Resources Company and blocked both ends of the street to maintain order in the expatriate area.
and stability.
There are only 10,000 police and military personnel in Guinea. After the situation worsened, a considerable number of them collapsed.
Many police and military personnel who were supposed to perform security tasks joined the ranks of thugs with guns, storming legally operating shops and raking in ill-gotten gains, leading to a sharp deterioration in the security situation.
The turbulent political situation in Guinea is on the verge of collapse of public security.
The response of the international community was slow. The riots in Guinea lasted for nearly a week. The African Union and related neighboring countries successively condemned the authoritarian military government of Guinea and called for the active participation of the international community.
However, European and American countries just expressed their serious concerns indifferently, and then nothing happened.
For the world's top five powers, the turbulent situation in a small, remote country in West Asia cannot arouse real interest.
It only expressed routine concerns and hoped to promote the restoration of stability and order by democratic forces and national self-determination.
That is to say, you can solve everything by yourself.
International affairs are complex and sensitive, and the Big Five are reluctant to intervene. This is for their own reasons.
one
As a regional cooperation alliance, the African Union is similar to ASEAN, the Gulf Cooperation Organization, and the Union of South American Nations, and has an unshirkable responsibility in responding to the changes in the situation in Guinea.
The rash intervention of world powers outside the region is inconsistent with the rules and will be boycotted by the African Union countries.
What's more, this poor West African country has neither strategic resources nor strategic geographical location. It is just a slum. Who is willing to get involved and ask for trouble?
If it is a country with strategic significance, then it is naturally different. Guinea, a poor country in West Africa, obviously does not apply.
Second
Under normal circumstances
First, the African Union should make a joint resolution on the situation in Guinea, which usually focuses on expressing solidarity, condemnation, or providing humanitarian assistance. These measures are only scratching the surface and cannot solve the real problem.
Armed intervention is the last option and must not be implemented easily unless it is forced or faced with a major humanitarian disaster.
Because, no matter what the reason is, this will inevitably violate the sovereignty and independence of independent countries, which is the most sensitive bottom line for all countries.
Today is Guinea, then who will it be tomorrow?
This example must not be repeated. There is a precedent for this in the African Union. A genocide of millions of people once occurred in a certain country, and the African Union did not take any armed intervention.
From the AU level, dozens of African countries have different concerns and interests. If they want to take into account the interests and concerns of all parties and finally come up with a conclusion through discussion, I am afraid that the situation in Guinea has already deteriorated beyond repair.
As the sovereign state of Guinea during the colonial period, the French government has an ambiguous attitude and only maintains serious concerns about this. On the contrary, the opposition parties have expressed their opinions one after another, strongly condemning the actions of the military government and demanding that it step down as soon as possible and implement democratic elections.
The core demand of democratic parties from Europe is that the military government in Guinea should step down and return power to the people.
Many countries in the African Union also advocate armed intervention, which has put great pressure on the military government of Guinea.
In the chaotic situation in Guinea, Owl Company's decisive action is one of the few bright spots, deploying private armed forces to protect the personal safety and property safety of foreign nationals, embassies and consulates.
His fame suddenly spread throughout black Africa.
Unfortunately, Owl Company is a mercenary company that works for money. In Conakry, a city with a population of two million, it only protects a small number of people at the top of the pyramid of wealth and power, excluding the vast majority of residents. .
The mercenaries acted vigorously and resolutely, focusing on protecting one or two streets where foreign expatriates were concentrated. They would not interfere in any matters outside of the mission, and would have little influence on the overall situation.
The domestic chaos has been continuing. With large-scale strikes and school strikes, shops in the streets and alleys of Conakry have been closed. Thugs roaming everywhere are smashing, smashing and looting, and the situation is slipping to the edge of getting out of control.
March 30
Under the pressure of internal and external troubles, the top brass of the dictatorial military government fled on a special plane and eventually went into exile in France.
This was originally a good thing, but the chaotic situation in Guinea did not improve. Instead, it became worse with the frequent appearance of grass-headed kings.
Opportunists such as political bigwigs, gang leaders, former police chiefs, and tribal bigwigs appeared on the scene, recruiting military and police officers with guns everywhere to form their own forces, and they became the powerful forces of the separatist party.
Dozens of forces, large and small, have emerged in the city of Conakry, and no one is convinced by the other. Even the local tycoon who manages the farmers' market has gathered hundreds of armed people. Street gunfights, land grabs and other violent incidents have increased rapidly.
At this time, Mondell, a senior professor who had returned from France, gained strong support from the local Liberal Democratic Party through intensive activities, as well as the support of democratic forces in Europe represented by France and the Netherlands. He was full of enthusiasm to transform Guinea, and countless people The idea can’t wait to be implemented.
The only thing he lacked was that he was unarmed, and the grass-headed king of Conakry was ignored.
this day
Owl Company Base No. 1 welcomed a group of special guests. They were members of the Liberal Democratic Party headed by Mundell, as well as members of democratic parties from France, the Netherlands and other countries. There were more than 30 people in the group.
In the headquarters
"Sorry, please forgive us for our inability to do so. Owl Company cannot accept your entrustment."
"Oh...god, why?"
"We all know that mercenaries in the 1970s and 1980s widely participated in abnormal regime changes in many countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, causing wars and panic everywhere, and acting without a bottom line. This was widely criticized internationally." Yang Shouhong helplessly shrugged. He lowered his shoulders and continued; "In view of this, the international mercenary community has an unwritten agreement and cannot accept such business. Some stragglers in the mercenary community may not care, but Owl Company cannot violate this."
Mundell was a little confused. He was just a French professor of Guinean origin. Before that, he had taught sociology at the University of Lyon for more than 20 years and had no idea that there were such strange regulations in the mercenary world.
He looked at an old European man next to him who was somewhat balding in confusion. This man was tall and thin, and looked like a very educated scholar. He had a pair of bright gray-green eyes, and his name was Pieno Batti.
Ste Meunier is Mundell's special personal consultant and a democrat with a deep background.
There was a smile on Pieno's lips, and he cursed Mondell in his heart for being such an idiot. He got confused by just a few words. There was never any task that a mercenary could not accept or dare not accept.
If there is, then the price is not high enough.
