That is right, Eeben Barlow has restarted the famed Executives Outcomes company! I had read hints of him doing this ever since I got back a month ago, and I think it is fantastic news. He had also left STTEP recently, which was a surprise, but now makes sense.
It will be fascinating to see where EO goes first. Who knows, and watch this space. Congratulations to Eeben and the rebirth of his company! –Matt
The company will now make it part of its mission to expose those media and intelligence whores that thrive on lying for secret payments. Likewise, we will investigate—and expose—those so-called academics and scholars that create fiction and publish deception to establish their position in academia.
Executive Outcomes will, once again, assist African and other governments with the development of strategies (including campaign strategies), and provide advice, training and mentoring to those governments that request it. However, the company will not work in South Africa. This decision was taken as a result of the public outcry in the country when EO successfully assisted in countering domestic crime as well as crime on the Lesotho border. The company will not subject itself to such intelligence, law enforcement and media hypocrisy a second time.
Strategic partnerships have already been put in place with two companies that have a likewise reputation for adding value to governments, and I look forward to helping them establish themselves in Africa.
