When those white supremacists got caught they tried blaming their actions on 'fighting communism' when the PM of Dominica at the time was Eugenia Charles, one of the most right leaning leaders in the Caribbean nicknamed the Iron Lady of the Caribbean after the Iron Lady nickname given Margaret Thatcher.

John is a c00n though. This happens time and time again, some dumbass thinks non-Blacks are going to put them back in power for free. Petion and the coloureds learned this asking Leclerc and the French for help in Haiti, some random Songhay aristocrat learned this asking Morocco to help him take the crown using Cannon (Battle of Tondibi; ended Sahel states), Tshombe in the Congo, etc. etc.

Speak on that breh :ohhh:

Denard was a french mercenary. He did a lot of dirty work between the 60's and the 80's in Africa and Yemen.

In 1978, he organized a coup d'État in Comores and became chief of the military; he started running the country from behind the scene along with his far right friends he recruited in Europe. He had his own army and was acting like the government. During that period, he helped South Africa when they were under the embargo.

In 1989, the president got mysteriously killed and Denard tried once again to take over the country. The french military stopped him and he went into hiding in South Africa. In 1995, he came back, did another coup and became the chief of the Comores. Once again, the french had to intervene to kick him out.

Bob Denard did it in the Comores :francis:

Just like Machiavelli said in the Prince, it is better to lose with your own troops than trust mercenaries.

Therefore, let him who has no desire to conquer make use of these arms, for they are much more hazardous than mercenaries, because with them the ruin is ready made; they are all united, all yield obedience to others; but with mercenaries, when they have conquered, more time and better opportunities are needed to injure you; they are not all of one community, they are found and paid by you, and a third party, which you have made their head, is not able all at once to assume enough authority to injure you. In conclusion, in mercenaries dastardy is most dangerous; in auxiliaries, valour. The wise prince, therefore, has always avoided these arms and turned to his own; and has been willing rather to lose with them than to conquer with the others, not deeming that a real victory which is gained with the arms of others.
