Daithi, I have the same set of conceptions on the continent, mine bearing from my military service which took me to the continent on several occasions.
South Sudan particularly sits in my mind, what used to have a passable professional class with a basic educational system and some mobility economically. It is now a desolate wasteland not out of place in a science fiction story. The place riven with tribal fighting and corruption. It is now policed by the equally feckless United Nations, a more useless organisation there never was. It is a tax on rich nations, for every soldier a country provides the providing country is paid approx $120 per day, the "peacekeepers" being made up of the likes of the Pakistani, Mongolian, Angolan countries. The UN sorts precisely NOTHING out where they go, there is no incentive to sorting anything because if its sorted, the peacekeepers are not required and the money being paid could stop! The very definition of a "self licking lolly".
As part of group of UK peacekeeping and engineers (a very very rare thing, as the UN hates the UK being involved in their business) we achieved more in 6 months than thr previous 10 years of the UN. Figure that! What an awful indictment for this ridiculous organisation.
