Mamadou's "career" officially began. Their first target wasn't the capital or a big city, but a small town about a hundred kilometers from the coast, boasting a fertile river valley and a road leading to the border—Sangar Town.
This town was nominally under government control, but only had about twenty police officers with outdated equipment and low morale. The mayor was a greedy guy, perfect as a symbol of "tyranny" to stir up "public anger."
The plan was simple: a night raid, bombarding the police station and mayor's residence with mortars and RPGs, then armed personnel would rush in, kill all resisters, arrest the mayor (to be executed after a public trial). Simultaneously, set up roadblocks around the town, announce "liberation," and immediately start distributing "Black Pearl" and small amounts of cash to win over the poor. A Colombian "agriculturalist" would immediately survey the land to prepare for next year's large-scale poppy and coca planting.
