Als Student in Paris war er bereits bei der extremen Rechten politisch aktiv. Anschlie\u00dfend diente er in der Armee, die er 1984 als sous-lieutenant verlie\u00df.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bald darauf stand er in den Diensten von Bob Denard auf den Komoren, wo er als Offizier in dessen Pr\u00e4sidentengarde diente. Sp\u00e4ter wurde er f\u00fcr diese Zeit mit mindestens einem Mord an einem ANC-Aktivisten in Frankreich in Verbindung gebracht. Nachdem Denard von Frankreich aus dem Verkehr gezogen und vor Gericht gestellt worden war, emigrierte Rouget wie viele seine Kameraden nach S\u00fcdafrika, wo er dann die Staatsb\u00fcrgerschaft erhielt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Er blieb aber weiterhin im S\u00f6ldnergesch\u00e4ft aktiv, da er 2005 von einem s\u00fcdafrikanischen Gericht wegen der inzwischen verbotenen Werbung von S\u00f6ldnern zu einer Geldstrafe verurteilt wurde. Anschlie\u00dfend schlug er sich mit Safaris durch, bis er 2008 ein Angebot der amerikanischen PMC Bancroft erhielt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rouget leitete dann den milit\u00e4rischen Einsatz von Bancroft in Somalia. Er leitete dort den Einsatz ugandischer S\u00f6ldner im Rahmen von <a href=\"https:\/\/kriegsreisende.de\/geschichte\/artikel\/rent-a-ugandan\/\">AMISOM<\/a> bei den harten K\u00e4mpfen um Mogadischu. Inzwischen ist er einer der f\u00fchrenden M\u00e4nner von Bancroft, die in der Zentralafrikanischen Republik und dem Sudan den russischen Einfluss zur\u00fcckdr\u00e4ngen sollen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ein Veteran in Afrika<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4755,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,212],"tags":[170,139],"class_list":["post-4753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biographien","category-gegenwart-biographien","tag-franzosen","tag-pmc"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
