Faulkes and Bob Denard were very much involved in Katanga, backed by the French Secret Service/s- sometimes competing against each other's goals- not so much in Biafra where the German Rolf Steiner and Welshman Taffy Williams had pretty well replaced the *officially/secretly backed* mercs from France and Belgium. The Biafrans had bloody little with which to pay mercs or buy arms anyway; the Nigerians had oil revenue.
