L'Intervention est un film franco-belge réalisé par Fred Grivois, sorti en 2019. Il s'inspire très librement de la prise d'otages de Loyada survenue près de Djibouti en 1976.
Synopsis
En février 1976, à Djibouti (alors partie du Territoire français des Afars et des Issas), des terroristes indépendantistes prennent en otage un bus assurant la tournée de ramassage scolaire d'enfants de militaires français. Le bus s’enlise ensuite à une centaine de mètres de la frontière avec la Somalie, à Loyada. Les autorités françaises envoient alors sur place une unité de tireurs d'élite de la Gendarmerie nationale française. Cette équipe va devoir mener une opération à haut risque afin de libérer les enfants otages. D'après la bande annonce, cette opération marquerait par ailleurs les débuts du Groupe d'intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale (GIGN), créé en 1973 et réorganisé « au printemps 1976 ».Actors
