Namibia spanks mercenary firm, sends them home!!

Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 12:16 PM by FLDem5

Windhoek, Namibia - Namibia has deported two US citizens and shut down an American mercenary firm for recruiting Namibians to work as 'security guards' in war torn Iraq and Afghanistan.

The government swiftly ordered the closure of mercenary firm Special Operations Consulting-Security Management (SOC-SMG), which had set up a base in Namibia and was recruiting former war veterans to work in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Minister of Information and Broadcasting Netumbo-Nandi Ndaitwah declared the two US nationals - Paul Grimes, SOC-SMG country representative for Namibia, and Fredric Piry, chief of operations - 'prohibited immigrants.'

Article 96 of the Namibian Constitution, on the country's Foreign Relations, states the government's policy of non-alignment, the promotion of international co-operation, peace and security and the settlement of international disputes by peaceful means.
