PMC fights for diamonds
Fuchs,
The South African PMC Executive Outcomes is usually linked to Sierra Leone, assisting the government assert control; a quick Google suggests that there was a link to Liberia, but not fighting there. My memory is not that good, but I am sure Executive Outcomes were active before the UN intervened and then left. The UN, with large Indian & Pakistani contingents, had some success, but some attribute real success to the small UK intervention.
Secondly, the description of large mercenary forces in Africa in the 1960's, ven into Biafra / NIgerian Civil War, is not accurate. In my reading years ago the mercenary forces, e.g. in the Congo were small and had personnel from many countries, including South Africa.
