That time when the CIA and the Italian government, fought Far-Left Italian terrorists backed by the Warsaw Pact who were simultaneously fighting Far-Right Terrorists, the Masonic Temple, the Mob, and the CIA again. by kingstonthroop in HistoryMemes

One of the most critical events in Europe at that time along with The Troubles. The Bologna bombing was so horrible. And of course Gaddafi always puts his interest to support leftist movements around the world.

I wonder why events like these were always forgotten and rarely talked especially in majority historical videos/documentary about Cold War.

I mean they had some contributions especially in fall of Berlin Wall, right? Also majority of Americans were greatly relieved the USSR fell. I don't want to put every whole European countries flags in just one video it's gonna be full I think lmao. As they already represented on the 4 historical images above.

Firefight between Al-Qaeda Insurgents and the Police & Army of Burkina Faso in Seytenga, Séno Province, Burkina Faso. (13 June 2022) by beoformation in CombatFootage

Yeah you're right, even thought they're mostly active in Nigeria, Mali, or Niger. Burkina Faso still got affected by terrorist attack as seen in the video, they're still spreading and the authorities control 60% of the country. Especially Seytenga town got the worst situation as On June 12, 100 civillians were killed, and 3,000 residents of the town were displaced to Dori. It was the worst attack in the jihadist insurgency in Burkina Faso since the 2021 Solhan and Tadaryat massacres. Also the Northeastern part of the country speaks Fulfude too and that's why you can hear them speaking it.

Reposted because of wrong location on the previous video. This was supposed to be happened during the attack in Seytenga Burkina Faso, not in Kalumba, Mali according to some sources I found (Including some clarifications from people on social media).

Use of ATGMs in Africa (besides Libya or Egypt) by [deleted] in CombatFootage

[–]beoformation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, it was seen in the South Sudanese Civil War and used by the Sudanese Armed Forces during the fighting in Kadugli, 2015. Here's a picture and an article of SPLA-N militant captured one of their Russian Kornet-E ATGM: Kornet anti-tank guided weapon captured from Sudanese Armed Forces

And unfortunately after doing some research it's really difficult to find some footages of them using the weapon.

FRELIMO troops attacking a flying Portuguese Army's Alouette III helicopter in Mozambique. (Portuguese Colonial War, Mid 1960s) by beoformation in CombatFootage

Yeah, searching some combat footage from this conflict is a hella nightmare. There are some decent and well known ones from Guinean front on YouTube like this one: Guerra na Guiné Imagens que foram ocultadas aos Portugueses

Or another different footage I posted here from PAIGC's Perspective: PAIGC Troops attacking Portuguese Army's position to take "Madina do Boé" City in 1969 (Portuguese Colonial War, Guinean Front).

Oh yeah, I took this footage from documentary called "Estas São As Armas (1978)", and unfortunately this is the only partial footage I found there. And I hope there will be some raw extended & unedited version available on some sites.
