Entebbe Raid : The Israeli Raid that humiliated Idi Amin of Uganda
In 1976, an airplane hijacking unfolded that would change history. Air France Flight 139, en route from Tel Aviv, Israel to Paris, France fell into the hands of terrorists. Led by members of the German Baader-Meinhof group and Palestinians from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the plane was diverted to Entebbe, Uganda. There, Idi Amin, fueled by frustration over his country’s deteriorating relations with Israel, welcomed the hijackers with seemingly open arms.
This set the stage for a daring Israeli rescue mission, an operation that would not only free hostages but also deliver a blow to Amin's regime.

    ⁠Bokassa was supported by France, French air force even sent jet fighters to protect him being crowned; Mobutu was supported by US, he murdered Lumumba together CIA,MI6,VSSE. Amin was supported by US, CIA was him sending military aids so he could kill his own people. They are just the three of most terrible dictators in Africa supported by former colonizers and neocolonizers committing most disgusting atrocities. The list can go on much longer. Stop pretending African people doomed themselves and they are hopeless 😅 you western countries are

    It's sad that people realize their delusions only when something unusual happens - for thousands of years "leaders" have led the people and the country only as long as it pays them personally - only Buddha, Christ, Che Guevara and those with similar awareness are able to support their paradise without own interests - and apparently also Captain Ibrahim Traore. I don't believe in God, but GOD BLESS HIM anyway.

    Russia China Iran identifying and being supportive of Africa's struggles for independence and sovereignty in word and deed are solidifying staunch partnerships and inclusion in the future economic and military stability and eventual world peace by creating a sustainable and new United Nations. To protect one another and the BRICK'S nations against neo- colonialism, and bullying, and replace the unjust hypocritical International Court of Justice that has been corrupted and weaponized by Western Nations.
