With the departure of the Soviets and Cubans from Southern Africa, South-Saharan Africa no longer comprises a part of the West's core strategic interest. America's experience in Somalia illustrated the folly of addressing with force what was essentially a humanitarian problem derived from the utter failure of the economic development of the third world. The human tragedy in Rwanda highlighted the seemingly interminable demands for external aid and Liberia has depicted the gruesome realities of human failure in the only African land with at least historic (but non-colonial) ties to the US. This text provides an examination of one dimension of peacekeeping in Africa - ECOMOG's role in the attempt to bring peace to Liberia and the impact of this operation on the region.

peace keepers,
This review is from: Peacekeeping in Africa: Ecomog in Liberia (Hardcover)
hi; am john balogun you see peace keepers really do suffer but all the same with out them there would be disaster in africa. so we should be very gratefull to them imagine those fighters going dont know if they would come back some of them with five children they die in another mans land living their wife and children to suffer for nothing but god is with them. generally they are good because with out them i cant imagine the way africa will be so we should be gratefull to them. the book is very good teaches us about what is going on in africa so that others to come would also have ideas about what has happened in the past.
