Picture of the Day: South Koreans Successfully Evacuated from Sudan

In addition to 28 South Koreans rescued the Special Forces risked their lives searching for and rescuing five Japanese citizens who were stuck in Sudan, reported Japan’s Mainichi Shimbun. The group of Japanese citizens contacted the Korean embassy to ask for the embassy’s help. The arrangement was made that the Japanese would join the Korean group at a certain point. But as time passed, the Japanese group went missing, with the communication cut. The special forces went looking for them as heavy gunfire was all around. It turned out that the Japanese were pinned down by gunfire, and they were unable to meet the Koreans at a promised meeting point until the special forces showed up to take them out. Once again, another outstanding job is done by the South Korean military, just like in Afghanistan a couple of years back, rescuing all of South Korea’s people, risking their lives, but using outstanding intelligence to complete their missions. Not to forget, our close allies and friends from Saudi Arabia and UAE who also played critical roles in helping the rescue under difficult circumstances.
Amazing how well that works when your President is not a senile leftist…
These guys are so high speed, they evacuated Koreans, rescued Japanese, and still managed to pick flowers under fire.
Of course, setnaffa (I presume he’s talking about Moon) ignores the fact that under President Moon Jae-in, 400 Afghans were rescued in 2021.
“under President Moon Jae-in, 400 Afghans were rescued in 2021”
That is a bug, not a feature.
SpongeBiden PuddingPants can’t even evauate his bowels safely. I know nothing about former RoK Presidential toiletry; but if a chinabot says Moon is a senile leftist, who am I to argue?
