Here it is.....yöür runaway SANDF...

The agency said at least nine SA soldiers were killed.
"I saw the bodies of six South African soldiers. They had all
been shot," a Reuters witness said. Later, he saw three more
bodies in burned-out South African military vehicles.
Amy Martin of the UN's humanitarian agency, OCHA, told the
BBC World Service that the SA troops had retreated to their
barracks and were seeking safe passage to the airport.

Seleka spokesperson Eric Massi said the rebels had broken
through a line of South African soldiers during their push
into the city."

Zuma says South Africa "rejects any attempt to seize power by force," and
that the soldiers' deaths will not keep the country from working to prevent
the overthrow of elected government.

Here is your illiterate President telling us the objective of SANDF troops is to prevent an overthrow of elected government. The objective of SANDF troops in the CAR was to keep Bozize in power, which of course you failed miserably at.



"Seleka spokesperson Eric Massi said the rebels had broken
through a line of South African soldiers during their push
into the city."




SANDF objectives in the CAR

- Keep Bozize in power - Failed

- Protect Bozize - Failed

- Train CAR troops - Failed

- SANDF troops suffered a crushing defeat, left their equipments in the CAR and fled.
1. Your Link doesn't work

2. Those were not our objectives, if we were there to protect the capital, we would've sent many more troops, helos, MRAPs ect.

Our objectives were to protect Bozize, which we did and train a few hundred troops, which we did.

1. Seleka confirms their casualty figures

2. Seleka gave no such deadline... and even if they did, we delayed our departure by 13 hours and our plane tickets cost them 400 men


I seriously dont understand why you take such issue with this... i have provided you with the testimony of both seleka and a Janes corrispondent and still you have a problem with it.

You need to get your head out of your arse

Stop telling blatant lies..... Seleka provided no such figures!

Quoting a random/any individual doesn't equal Seleka General.

Eric Massi Seleka spokesman says they broke through a South-African defence.

Actually they are.
"Seleka's Massi said the rebels had broken through a line of
South African soldiers during their push into the city."


A source with the United Nations in Bangui said South
African troops were preparing to leave the country.
"They took substantial losses and have asked for French
support to load their troops and take off," said the source.

Eric Massi is the spokesman of Seleka




- You cannot protect a man who isn't there, it's just not possible.

- Just like their SANDF trainers, they fled!


Who dominates the grounds in Nigeria's campaign against terrorists...... Nigeria!!
It is too early on into 2016 for patchesagain and his south Africans e-troops to be on the defensive, taking heavy fire like this. Damn!! This comment is like a judge's hammer that silences all debate and submission on the Bangui operation.

that's what happens when you get brushed aside. Synonyms!


The point is to re-confirm what is already known around Africa.... The SANDF is an incompetent, Inept poorly trained, poorly resourced and poorly-motivated force that is incapable of completing the most basic of tasks.

- ask 400 dead seleka about the SANDF. If you attack an ememy with over 3000 men, amd he stops you dead for 13 hours, kills 400 of your men and you have to sign a cease fire... how does that make your enemy incompetant?

- Americans had the exact same situation, are they incompetant, poorly lead, poorly resourced and lacking in motivation?

Eric Massi is the Seleka spokesperson, any other story, which cannot be corroborated is purely a figment of the wet dreams of South-African journalists. Reports which have been roundly rejected.


The Nigerian Army completely, I mean completely is in control! 1.6 million Nigerians who are mostly in the care of the Nigerian state while their homes which most of them have gone back to was cleared of terrorists. Nothing to be ashamed of.

They also had about 200 men vs 4000 rebels!! Difference is the US had airsupport(16 helicopters!!), we had absolutely fokol airsupport , they lost 18 men and 70+ wounded, we lost 13 and 27 injured, They killed about 400 militia, according to NGOs we killed close to 800 Seleka

They had to be evacuated, we fought untill the enemy surrendered.

Even your President Zuma, who signed of say's differently.

He was given an ultimatum, and he fled = Protect!
