10,000 Flee Fighting in Brazzaville

The Monitor (Kampala)

June 19, 2002 Posted to the web June 19, 2002

At least 10,000 people have fled Brazzaville, capital of the Republic of Congo, following two days of fighting between government forces and Ninja militias that began on Friday, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordination Office in the country reported.

Brazzaville endured two sustained military attacks in the north-eastern outskirts of the town. The first was against the military based near the international airport at Maya Maya, and the second targeted a police school and a station of the gendarmerie in the neighbourhood of Moukondo. Hundreds of rounds of rockets, mortars, and heavy-calibre machine-gun fire were directed on both areas, the UN reported. The Ninjas tried repeatedly, in vain, to destroy the government military helicopters at the airport.

Red Cross evacuates corpses after clashes.

After clashes between a die-hard militia group and Congo government forces over the weekend left around 60 militiamen dead, the International Committee for the Red Cross announced Monday it had evacuated a number of dead and wounded from the conflict region.

Government operations were continuing in areas surrounding the capital on Monday.

Apparently African Ninjas are not nearly as good at flipping out and killing people as their Japanese breatheren.

LOL! The African Ninja are weak!

They should have employed the MallNinja!

75th Army Rangers....They own the night..The real ninjas


See, even an ex-Marine can be nice to the Army now and then.

[LenS]

If they own the night, why are they attacking in daylight in your picture?

[Ungrateful]

Those Congo rebels are not real ninjas. Real ninjitsu can be learned only from the Genbuken or Bujinkan schools.

[SandfleaCSC]

Good question. Easier photo op during daylight I guess.

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting.....

And if I am not mistaken that is a photo of Delta Force Operators storming combat town at Bragg.

I could be mistaken.

Those cats was fast as lightning! In fact, it was a little bit frightening . . . but they fought with expert timing.

[SandfleaCSC]

It might be. The photo came from the 75th Ranger veterans' website. Leave it to the Army pukes to screw up the simple stuff. :)

African ninja fighters in Brazzaville?? Is the entire world going mad?

[Tennessee_Bob]

Well, they could tell you, but then they'd have to kill you.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thanks for the informative flag Tex......... I think I'll wear that outfit to the next PTA meeting............

[Enemy Of The State]

Yes, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad world. :-)

Which in my book is one of the funniest comedies of all time.

Which in my book is one of the funniest comedies of all time.

the other four are:

The Out of Towners, Money Pit, Blazing Saddles, Swiss Miss

[colorado tanker]

I would add: Bringing Up Baby and His Girl Friday. And Mel Brooks' the Producers and Young Frankenstein are darn near as funny as Blazing Saddles.

I studied Americanized ninjisu from students of Robert Bussey in Omaha, NE, while in college and law school. Awesome stuff - he learned from one of the two schools you mentioned in Japan, came here and spruced it up a little bit.

[GreatOne]

ninjisu = ninjitsu

Sheesh, how embarrassing.
