A Thin Coat of Blue
Gen. Agwai may have stopped worrying, but for people like Fatuma, it will be a long time before they can start living. The daily violence—the banditry, the hijackings, the attacks on civilians by all sides in the conflict—shows no sign of abating.
There is a growing realization that Unamid, the force the world sent to end this conflict, is not the answer—not without a peace deal, at any rate. The fighting continues, the displacement continues, and the misery in the camps continues.

Comment: Most of these African forces are no better, if not worse, in professionalism and capability than the forces they are intended to defend against. That picture says it all. Looks like three guys in South Central LA chillin' on th street corner.

Comment: The UN is incredibly useless b/c most of it's members either have ZERO backbone to do what needs to be done or they're incapable of doing anything b/c their membership is more of a status aspect vs them actually bringing anything useful to the table.

Comment: Excuse me. Under the title, where the word "force" is used.
