So M23 is still a thing in the Congos or what? Can someone fill me in without me having to google?

You can tell he knows what kind of troops he’s dealing with. Some are more motivated than others.
Gonna go down the google rabbit hole learning absolutely every scrape of info I can about all this now. Like finding little interesting bits of history on reddit.
The lack of training and discipline in African armies is just astounding me. These guys are in a life and death fight and the flag officer has to go to the front to make sure their units are actually engaging in combat and not sitting behind cover. It’s no wonder militias and insurgent groups are so successful against these governments.

These guys look fairly professional, if we compare this video to the videos from Sudan where everybody is spraying and wearing flip flops in battle (no offense to the SAF though, I think it’s mostly local volunteers we see in these videos).
The behavior of the officer is pretty interesting. He uses a Baton/Staff-of-office and motivates his troops by exposing himself to fire. That’s old french officer school right there.

This should have way more upvotes.
Best inside view of how wars are waged in central Africa on a command level.
And these even are on the more professionell side.
Simply wild.
Almost every quote legend material.

Does anyone know which documentary this is from? Looks like it has been taken from BBC.

Yep this guy has been engraved in my mind forever, essentially a brave general that got too much appreciation from its communities. One trip he was “suddenly” ambushed, might be an rpg shot but nevertheless his comrades pulled him out of the fire in vain and wept. its included in the documentary if im not mistaken
