MOZAMBIQUE ‘WAR CRIME’: Defence officials probe ‘despicable’ video of soldiers apparently burning insurgent bodies like rubbish

Defence officials are investigating a “despicable” video circulating on social media which seems to show regional soldiers, including at least one member of the South African National Defence Force, contemptuously tossing the bodies of dead insurgents onto a pile of burning rubble, apparently after a battle in northern Mozambique.

SAMIM – the Southern African Development Community Mission in Mozambique – had announced on 30 November that two SAMIM soldiers, a Tanzanian and a Botswanan, and “over 30” ASWJ insurgents had been killed in the battle at Nkonga village. It would also be a violation of the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 4, fifth paragraph, of the 1929 Geneva Convention stipulates that belligerents shall ensure that “the dead are honourably interred”.

On Tuesday the SANDF issued a statement about the video “depicting the South African National Defence Force and other unknown defence force members engaged in activities against the law of armed conflict”.

South African Animals ....

So that means all s.a. citizens should know who killed BABITA then, and why? Juicy

Yeah ! We know. 'The full might of the law'....S.A. Style.

Those insurgents savagely attack and kill innocent villagers so they are trash and deserve to be treated as such.

Sad

In a war zone gruesome acts are committed by both parties including the so called civilized countries.
