this isn’t a peacekeeping mission
it’s a mission to protect scarce resources that will benefit a small number of dying people and the elites and use lethal force to guard against access by panicked dying mobs
it’s a mission to back up Liberia troops in keeping panicked dying mobs inside a quarantine area while trying to deliver food and water to the quarantined to make their dying seem less inhumane - a confined death zone
It won’t take the average Liberians long to fall out of love with these guards and enforcers
I don’t see it happening; they’ve lived through a long period of war where nobody gave a hoot about them, and know what will happen. I guess time will tell.
I think Americans have been there this whole time (since Bush II).
