Episode description

Eeben Barlow served in the South African military and in his government's covert action branch called Civil Cooperation Bureau. After his service he founded Executive Outcomes, a private security company hired by the governments of Angola and Sierra Leone to fight terrorists. After coming under immense political pressure, Eeben attempted retirement but as heard here this turned out to be something he was not very good at. In the 2000's Eeben became the chairman of a new private military company called STTEP which hunted for Joseph Kony in Uganda and beat back the terrorist forces of Boko Haram in Nigeria. Today, Eeben has restarted Executive Outcomes.
