Power Shifter

In preparation for an article on the growth of Ghana as an African Tax Haven I've been filtering news about the dark continent. Never a shortage of intrigue on this topic, today I noticed an article in the BBC about the passing of French Mercenary Bob Denard. Now here was a man who believed that If you don't like the laws or the law makers of a jurisdiction then you should just take action and over-throw them.

In 1968 Denard and several hundred fighters tried to invade Katanga, in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, by bicycle.

His 1995 coup attempt in the Comoros involved arriving with 30 men in inflatable boats.
