SIERRA LEONE: MAKENI: ECOMOG TROOPS TAKE CONTROL OF TOWN

Amid fierce fighting, Nigerian-led West African peacekeepers took control of Sierra Leone's heavily fortified northern town of Makeni on Tuesday.
The advancing forces freed about 30 church missionaries and workers who had been trapped in a church for about three weeks by the fighting.
Last month, the West African army known as ECOMOG drove Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Paul Koroma's junta from the capital, Freetown.
An APTV camera crew filmed exclusive footage of ECOMOG troops taking Makeni.
These exclusive A-P-T-V pictures show a convoy of Nigerian-led ECOMOG peacekeepers on the road to Makeni.
The provincial capital, 200 kilometres (130 miles) north of the capital Freetown, was the next objective for these troops after driving out the rebels in Lunsar.
The Nigeria-led intervention force took control of Freetown in February and has since been fighting to expand its control in the rest of the countryside.
At one point, the ECOMOG troops were attacked from the bush by rebel forces.
But after a fierce fight, the rebels were overpowered and some were taken prisoner.
The Nigerian-led West African peacekeepers entered Makeni and started firing their automatic weapons to try to flush out any rebels who had not already fled.
Once the town was secure, the residents emerged from their houses to cheer the liberating troops.
Swift retribution for one suspected rebel was dealt out by the locals, and it was left to ECOMOG troops to save him.
The arrival of the troops also meant freedom for around 30 church missionaries and workers.
They had been trapped in their church for more than two weeks, listening to the gunfire and not daring to venture out into the street.
With obvious relief, they held a thanksgiving service in the church that had been both their sanctuary and prison.
This rebel was wounded during the recent fighting.
He was treated by a western doctor whose surgery had been looted and destroyed by her patient's comrades.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, I think the worst part about it was that we just didn't know what was going to happen. We're stuck in this place here, you hear the shooting around, you hear the R-P-G's ( rocket propelled grenades) going. As ex-pats, we were asked to stay here, not to go into the town, so we really just didn't know what was happening. And you get people coming in and out all the time telling their stories of the looting, of the raping, and they say, 'When are they going to come here?'"
SUPER CAPTION: Sister Ann Stevens, Doctor
The ECOMOG forces have a regional mandate to reinstate the civilian government.
President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah was overthrown in a bloody coup last year which was organised by Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Paul Koroma.
Kabbah was sent into exile in neighbouring Guinea.
He is expected to return to Freetown on March 10th, where preparations are underway for his arrival.

❤❤❤❤
Bravo to all the ECOMOG CONTINGENT that helped us
They didn't help us, they killed people. War crimes
Brave Africans doing African solutions for Africa. Well sone Nigeria we salute you
To all SLA personnel and ECOMOG that fought for the restoration of peace
Live long heroes
God bless Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
God bless the motherland Africa
They weren’t really hero’s considering there is a large amount of evidence to suggest that they would frequently commit war crimes, and steal the areas diamonds.
@@Uqwefsdjxsa these are almost the consequences of war, I can agree with you that ECOMOG committed many atrocities which made me loose many close friends due to misidetification of there personalities during the ECOMOG INTERVENTION
@@stevejahguide3209 True, it’s like calling all Germans in WW2 Nazis. There’s always a bad apple, but not the whole tree.

And a lot of Africans forget the role Nigeria's played, those are Nigerian troops
Comot for ya! Twwwww no one forgot. When u join the army u r liable to fight war and besides they were paid.

I don't know why our African bothers hate us.
@@edmondgeorge8557 Besides they were paid? you sound like an idiot, you think it's all about money? Those men risked their lives for others, and you don't think they deserve praise? You are a goat
We pray that God will strengthen ECOMOG Troops in the region, to keep the peace and stability.
Respect to Ecomog Troops. God bless you all.
That stomp to the face at 1:37 was brutal
Yes, but realise he likely pillaged and raped the family and neighbours of the man who kicked him. Frankly, this was mild.
@@ericdpeerik3928 mild
Too much human ryts is never good
As a Nigerian my advice is to withdraw from any African crisis since their are ungrateful we lost our loved ones because this ingrates and fools why did Ghana and the rest not in the front line only making noise
Leave Ghana out of this and deal with your internal problems we are also dealing with ours in our country
You are the fool. Other Africans played their roles too concerning Nigeria when y’all were warring as well. So be humble, because I doubt you know those Africans. Have you acknowledged them? Do you even know which countries took your people in? Which country did Ojukwu run to? Moreover, the Nigerian troops committed a lot of war crimes and a lot of igbos and other Nigerians were raped and killed in this war. Make sure you remember that the Nigerian civil war happened prior to, and your people were already in Sierra Leone and other parts of Africa. Be humble. And if you don’t know, keep quiet. The same way the Nigerian soldiers raped you after the Biafran war is the same they did throughout Africa, nothing to be grateful for, especially when you’re a part of ECOWAS, it’s your duty
@@rioxdex4381 shut up which role
Lol I always wondered why Nigerian soldiers were all up on t&e Frontline, never saw a Ghanaian soldier ever loool
It's about to happen again
I am very proud of you for making it happen and I am very proud of you for making it happen and I am very proud of you for making it happen and I am very proud of you for making it happen and I am very proud of you for making it happen and I am very proud of
Good job Sierra Leone 👍 🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱
Timer Long Arrow that was the Nigerian Army!
Nigerian soldiers
I was almost in tears watching this
Never Again ! God Bless Mama Salone
God first. Thank God for those troops who gave thier lives for us 🙏
History before my eyes
I was in makeni town
Ecomog good guys they needed and got some decent training from the British and I hope they will use it for good
Still watching in 2022.
this film is real
Estes soldados não tem um mínimo de preparo ..
Pior q é vdd
Did a better job than the "professionally trained" Americans did in Vietnam
🤣 yeah those tactics should be written down 1) don't aim the weapon sights are useless 2) hold rifle over head turn said weapon sideways again expell all your ammo into the air hitting nothing. 3) group up there is saftey in numbers forget about 1 hand grenade taking out 12 guys 🤣. 4) Have a second grade education and proclaim yourself general or president. Look ma the natives evolved from sticks and stones to 3rd world country junk guns but they each come with a case of shoddy ammo.

Strategic wise I can agree with ECOMOG but tactics and overall training are awful
Triste vida de um povo carente de tudo, de direitos, cidadania, dignidade. A mercê de insurgentes miseráveis e um exército historicamente abusivo duvidoso, e políticos altamente corruptos. Pobre África em todos os sentidos!
Oh my africa
Having watched the video, I came to realization that the RUF fought against corruption and thus restoration of peace. They fought against the intervention FORCES-ECOMOG to safe our natural resources. Though I was 3/4 years old from 1996/97 , but watching through this documentary brings me those memories of inhuman treatment.
I pray that peace will continue to rain in Sierra Leone, despite the ubiquitous corruption.
I think Nigeria should never have intervened in SL but allowed the war to just go on. The people there needed to fight and kill themselves by themselves to really understand what war is really like.....
@rdokoye oh it was good and infact the reason why west Africa is a little bit stable is because of the ecomog troops but the sincere truth is we lost lives for countries that in a way dislike us......so if we ever go again, let it be when it's really hot....
@@ubongchusom3183 True talk my brother then we go know if the propaganda machine about us go still they shout wolf wolf
"As a permanent "amabanikone" militarily in civilian dressing code I personally as neglected and hated by women and men from pleasure demands therefore won't show particular mercy affections to save lives of other citizens whom doesn't know when to respects and integrate my life if mysteriously within reality column fighters by column fighters from sides to sides battling each others strategically under my column fighters there won't be course of "retreat policy" ( "in simple senses "don't go back" mention by a fatal sit-in soldier ratio 1:04 who is wearing gumpy cover face mask has my fatality presumption storm through galon heights conflict battle assault zonals to teach our enemy fighters a toughest lessons".
If you don't know our history, then read up. they ended this war and also the one in liberia and it was because our military was true to their purpose. i can't speak for now because people are politicizing our security
Yeah, your wrong nigeria were just as bad as the rebels killing children and women.. Cant beat the problems in their own country, useless.
@@paulcollins2246 I think Nigeria should never have intervened in SL but allowed the war to just go on. The people there needed to fight and kill themselves by themselves to really understand what war is really like.....
@@ubongchusom3183 i agree with you how ever i was just making the point they did not end this war the army was on the side of who paid the best
@@paulcollins2246 I think saying this ...."Cant beat the problems in their own country, useless..." was a bit harsh and actually i have folks who say if not the ECOMOG intervention the war would still be on like the ones in Congo and Somalia which are both on resource control. Nigeria had a bitter civil war that up till now it has not healed from it. The last thing West Africa needs is to be like East Africa where war is always looming. But you see this is how tomorrow people of the Gambia would say fuck ECOMOG, fuck NIGERIA because why.......they did not experience it on their own so maybe next time something of such happens Nigeria and the rest of the ECOMOG troops should just fold their hands and let those countries kill themselves.........
@@ubongchusom3183 i agree i lived in Sierra Leone for 5 years and all you get is its somebody eles who fault it was not theres. I changed my opinion let them crack on their selves.
1:38 What the kick 🤣
Momma's cooking bitch! 🤣🤣 BLAM! Kick to the face 🤣🤣🤣
I can tell you that so many innocent people have died on this day.
Africa with war
Тактика на гране фантастики, пара бойцов из ССО перемочила бы кодов этих войск как куропаток
are you sure this guy's... really a regularly soldier's?
By African standards
This same Nigeria soldier can not defeat Boko Haram...
ITS A DIFF GOVT NOW. ITS NOT THE SAME NIGERIAN SOLDIERS
Totally different kind of conflict
These Nigerian soldiers were the 63NA.. All currently retired... My dad fought this war... Long live 63NA...
Exactly. With 599 repentant Boko haram members in the Nigerian army now and they still can’t fight terrorism and insecurity. Smh

Why didnt ECOMOG intervene in Rwanda
Rwanda genocide lasted for just 3 months. From April to July. So it all happened too fast to make decisions, mobilize and send troops.
Ecomog was a West African force and Rwanda is in East Africa.
After the Americans messed it up, the Ethiopians stabilised the country. They were poorly equipped, with few numbers and generally despised by Somalians, but still did what US couldn't.
Rwanda is in East Africa, ECOMOG is a west African group.
Propaganda film.
