(Yes I made this thread the other day, but it was right before the Wagner shit happened, and now that that's settled down I'm rebaking it.)

Tl:Dr version?
They were poorly equipped with shit tier defensive positions. Still, when they took casualties from an RPG hit (webm; 6 wounded, 2 mortally) they stopped following orders due to self preservation, and let humanitarian aid workers get gang raped not too far away because they refused to leave their compound to aid them. The workers were left overnight and had to be rescued by PMCs in the morning.
>yfw you're a nubile Sudanese woman and the PMC that shows up is Wagner
RIP
The liveth forever more channel has a bunch of other great ones including one that I had the honor of seeing in real-time from a HQ.
You should find some stuff about ISIS Mozambique as well.
Also don't forget Radisson Blu 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ37waHR19A
>Burkino Faso stuff
Sweet, thanks. Very under viewed conflict.
The Mozambique video is in OP, btw.
Burkina Faso effectively lost control of the northern half of the country back in 2018 yet nobody heard about it outside of west Africa.
I've been checking in on Djibo now and then; it's been under siege for over a year now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Djibo
Interesting to see, I remember when Djibo became off-limits to all but the most stupidly brave westerners in 2019. Arbinda was where a similar siege took place that year and basically forced the locals to capitulate to the terrorists.
Jihadism is spreading in Africa like a cancer further and further south. The tactical side of it is very hard to pin down though since African militaries rarely put up a serious fight.

And all because France didn't want Gaddafi to implement the Gold Dinar as pan-African currency.
Source that literally any other African nation was going to go along and follow Gaddafi?
>Jihadism is spreading in Africa like a cancer further and further south
What's the ideological side? The non-Islamists are just too passive?
No opposing ideology but a bunch of corrupt leaders that just wanna fill their pockets
Jihadism would be defeated if west just raised a home grown ideological front that would combat jihadis . Countries are built on ideas not drone strikes and foreign interventions
Being a bunch of corrupt money-grubbers *is* Western ideology at this point. Well, that and cuck porn and trannies and feminism.
Switching brand from land of freedom to empire of sodom is the most bizarre geopolitical own goal
Nah, that's just the end result of land of freedom.
Only after destroying freedom of association and weakening freedom of speech for it
Freedom of association is what got us into this mess, subverting the nation in favor of foreigners and profit. Without social cohesion to rein in the abuses of freedom, the manipulators get a foothold and slowly subvert the rest of society.
So there is a homegrown anti-Jihadi movement in Burkina called the VDPs (Voluntere Pour Defense en Patrie or something like that) and they are hated by all the homosexual westoid NGOs because they hurt their precious muslims. https://www.voanews.com/a/africa_government-backed-militias-burkina-faso-accused-abuses/6207880.html
Mali also has the based Dogon hunter groups that fight JNIM but good luck letting any western SF adopt them as a surrogate force and train them up to go Montagnard mode on the jihadis.
God I hate leftists so much
Whenever I talk Africa it's hardest with the leftists especially boomers, Africans have no agency to them and it's all a big humanitarian issue caused by misunderstandings. They have no clue that there are African power players in each of these countries who are western-educated and are playing for keeps in what is often a zero-sum game where you lose your head if you fail.
