The Rangers had no doubt about the outcome of the fight against a French blue helmet.
Within just a few exchanges, the French lieutenant had his face pummeled to a pulp, and half his ribs were broken; he lay on the ground, utterly incapacitated.
Special Forces personnel would not take part in peacekeeping, as their inherent aggressiveness did not align with the nature of such missions.
The objective of France placing blue helmets in Central Africa was to assert its presence, while simultaneously ensuring its geopolitical interests in the surrounding regions of Central Africa.
In reality, the effective forces were the Rwandan peacekeepers and Joe Ga's colleagues from Russia.
Who would believe that to ensure he wouldn't be assassinated the day after taking office, the security of the Central African President and the core government facilities were entrusted to a Russian security company?
In today's Central Africa, it was not the French, but the Russians who had the final say.
