Meet the 'Madrid' mercenary who freed 55 girls from Boko Haram terrorists

This story is not popular, but because it is coming from a reputable publication, I decided to share it just the way it is on the website.

It's a long read as well as a sad story.

JML, known as 'El Rubio' spoke with El Espanol on how he saved two groups of girls abducted by the guerrillas of the Nigerian fundamentalist group.

The famous kidnapping of the 219 Nigerian girls committed by Boko Haram is unfortunately not the only one. Day in and day out-the country which happens to be the largest oil producer in Africa, inhabited by 160 million people live under threat and terror of an army of only 15,000 men has caused about 20,000 deaths in the past six years and the kidnapping of at least another 2,000 girls from which nothing is known. A reality that knows JML, whom the intelligence services around the world know him as 'El Rubio'.

On February 20, 2014, when he was on a mission of protection for UC Global Security Consulting (UCG), international private security company based in Jerez (Cádiz) he works for, lived an adventure you will never forget. "One day I was with my six companions of French nationality, English, Spanish, Argentina and Germany. We were making a request to the government of Cameroon, which had drifted us protection and transfer to the Reserve Faro and Kojoli (a few kilometers from the border with Nigeria) of a thermoelectric to provide the area technology center, "explains 'The blond'.

JML, 'El Rubio', is a mercenary who has extensive military training. Former member of the French Foreign Legion, was born in Argentina but spends seasons of the year in a city near Madrid. He is 47 and his physical appearance could be confused with a bank employee. His strength is in knowledge of military tactics and the use accurate weapons when necessary. For the first time account for THE SPANISH what he experienced.

The group of 7 'Blackshirts' captained by JML (as they are called by the uniform they wear), was accompanied by another checkpoint local Nigerians that gives them support and to pay them 2,000 euros per mission. He had to guard along the route eleven containers that were dismantled the different parts of this plant.

The convoy had to reach their destination without falling completely into the hands of terrorists, thieves or people of the worst sort. "For this trip we deployed two professional shooters prepared for any contingency with individual gauges M50, one on the first truck convoy and one at the last, while the rest were going spread in a Toyota air-conditioned vehicle with which to advance two or three kilometers to check that no one would be to assail "says 'El Rubio'. "Meanwhile, two other members were located in the middle of the central delegation changing from truck to truck to see the sides and make sure everything was in order," he says.

A mission that is twisted at five in the afternoon. They had previously been alerted by the locals that the terrorist group Boko Haram was operating there. It did not surprise attack. "A group of 20 armed blacks in flip flops and left the jungle to the road to assail and steal the material," recalls JML "did not have our preparation. Once we defended them all and found that indeed were part of the terrorist group we decided to get into the leafy since we had no doubt there would be more ". And so it was. They were met with another 25 men "who gave them their due but not without question one of them about the camp where I was," says 'El Rubio'.

RAPE, DRUGS AND MUCH SADNESS

When they learned the location walked with the greatest of caution and prepared to monitor the area . "In the distance we have about 50 men and a group of between 10 and 15 girls , " he recalls. "Around them was another group of 13 bodies of girls who had cut their breasts, open the stomach and had destroyed them parts to rape and martirizarlas with broken glass bottles , " he recalls.

You decided to watch them for four hours until nightfall. At that time they realized how they treated girls . "They were in the camp and sides were shops. Had them bound in full sun and by the guerrillas wanted to satisfy his sexual desire, put up above drugs, they were pulling out of there and bringing to stores and then return them to leave with the rest of the group in the worst conditions , "he stresses. At 22 hours approximately operation began. "After confirming that they had not heard the previous shooting with the other groups, we began the operation"tells JML

His enemies were so until the 'crossbars' cocaine, so drunk with the worst and cheapest of the alcohols which put him on a platter. "His condition was so deplorable that helped us do our work quickly." The Western team had not any casualties. "We took 25 girls between 14 and 17 years had. We had to leave the bodies of the other 13 girls since nothing could do for them, "he says. He estimates that about 70 guerrillas could die of Boko Haram, some very young, almost children, but always armed and ready to kill.

Girls accompanied them with fear in the body to believe that this group of Westerners were their final buyers. "We told them no. We had gone to release them. " Once outside the camp they asked them where they were to carry with their families. "We said they were from Yola and Mubi (Nigeria) but, please, not trasladásemos to their villages. Our intention was to leave them there but the girls told us that we did not do that. The they disown their families to have been kidnapped. " 'El Rubio' and his men doubted if what they said was true.

They decided to move them to the border between Cameroon and Nigeria (right on the deChibok area) and deliver the first group of Nigerian military that were found. The 'Blackshirts', seeing how they treated those girls, they realized that they were not lying. One of the Nigerian military told them it would have been better bring them to Uganda or Rwanda because there sex trafficking of Europeans and Americans in search of African quinceañeras would have given them a better future.

The team decided to head to Cotonou (Benin) to alert the American staff what happened. "The bad luck that no one was CIA stationed there. We could not tell anyone 'friend' what had happened to us "JML says Given the developments the team received the order of the government of Cameroonleaving the mission for which they had hired them . " We did the pressures. We conclude the order and left the country , "says MD, CEO of the security company UCG. Again not knowing anything about these girls . They promisedthat if life again put them in a similar situation, they would not act in the same way.

A SECOND MISSION

A year later, on February 15, 2015 they kept their word without looking for it. On this occasion 'El Rubio' was in charge of the custody of a group of 18 Europeans (Spanish, French, London, German ...) who had moved to the same place in Cameroon to buy gold, diamonds and precious stones in order to then market them in Europe. Suddenly they were attacked.

The delegation, this time composed of 11 'Blackshirts' plus support group returned to repel the attack. "We saw that the behavior of the guerrillas was very similar to the attackers a year ago." We resist the offensive, leaving 32 casualties among the attackers and. None of our " Safety equipment, along with 18 businessmen, went into the forest until he found the camp. Well barricaded saw 28 terrorists guarding a group of 32 girls alive two badly injured and three dead bodies with them. "They had them together under a blazing sun without any protection. Some were dressed as Westerners, pants and shirts. Around him there were obscured sticks as they served them. If you were lucky and after a brutal rape the girl was still alive, drove her to take you there. If not, they leave her lying beside "said 'El Rubio'.

The rescue operation did not leave a live terrorist. In total, 50 dead. "We did not want prisoners," he argues. The group thanks girls to these private security guards always lead to a paramedic for what may just want to have was immediately attended both by them and by the 18 Europeans who, although they were amazed by what they were living, did not hesitate to tear the sleeves their shirts to offer them as bandages and tourniquets and so stop the blood flowing from his innermost parts. "They were so brutally torn"stresses.

After the operation, 'El Rubio', chief of the group, contacted the Cameroonian government to tell him what had happened for the second time and the response was unexpected. "You canceled our contract again and invited us out of there as soon as possible with the girls because they would conflict". The worst was that Nigeria and Goodluck Jonathan then president, who warned, "would not receive these girls and gave us four days to leave the country with them."

A TRIP TO RED BULL AND SILENCE

Given this response , the group began a new journey that lasted 30 days and would cross four countries to reach Mauritania where a contact would help them to get them out of the continent. With the seven Toyota pickup double cabin they had, where they were scattered in the front of entrepreneurs and on the back girls prostrated, they threw both international contacts them and entrepreneurs to get out of there and save the "uncomfortable" girls.

Such relationships (and money were putting protected Western businessmen) opened their way and helped them to pay for fuel, food and shelter during that journey. But what it was the state of them during the trip? Her rapists had given so many drugs that were barely standing or awakened.

"As we went asking for favors contacts and through the different borders, as we had no drug we managed to pass his monkey with 50 cans of Redbull that we had to be wide awake all day, plus another 150 we bought along the way. It took them like water, "recalls the 'Madrid' mercenary. "I almost could have passed for dealers of this drink," he recalls wryly.

The group of vehicles passed through Burkina Faso, Mali and Ghana to reach the final destination of Nouachot (Mauritania), where they had a contact at the UN that even risking the type and their work would help them make the leap to Europe arguing humanitarian reasons . "For every place we were going and credit cards entrepreneurs supplying some contact us gasoline for vehicles or papers to be moved from one place to another".

When the group arrived in Mauritania, 'El Rubio' called several doors that girls should do over and could give them a secure roof. "The German Embassy did not consider accommodate girls and the Spanish ambassador would not even receive us." So one of the millionaires called a philanthropist friend whose wife has a foundation in a Nordic country in Europe to lend a hand. " He spoke of girls and its dismal state and said he could take care of travel and their care ".

Now there was only out of there and leave behind everything I lived. "EM, our contact at the UN kept his word and gave us the airport to take off and leave behind a bitter and sad for these poor women continent. Another paid fuel and the plane with which to do it. Once there we parted. We left the group of girls on a plane rises into the hands of the Europeans to put safe. "

The group of 11 'Blackshirts' flew to Las Palmas to Madrid and from there to their respective countries. Now these girls are safe from his captors wild. Les hard work is forgotten, if they ever can in his past.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the so-called Black Africa, there are still dozens of girls who will surely be being raped, drugged, abused in ways unimagined by members of the terrorist group Boko Haram. And JML, anonymous mercenary, asks: "If a small group of well-armed private security guards has been released twice a few girls, how is it that the Nigerian Government can not do when it receives from countries such as the US for example 24 mine-resistant vehicles valued at $ 11,000,000 to eliminate or when Barack Obama signed into your day Presidential Executive Order 13224 mandating the elimination of the terrorist group and sought the arrest of Abubakar Shekau, leader of Boko Haram, offering up to $ 7,000,000 for the same reward?

'El Rubio' not for mulling over his head in search of answers and only makes one thing clear: if he were, tomorrow he would climb on a plane with his team 'Blackshirts' and go to Nigeria to find and rescue them.
