Near Port Selao
The streets are jammed with militia. Roadblocks have been set up at every corner. It’s impossible to go 10 kilometres without encountering a checkpoint of some kind. And the checkpoint rules are to shoot first. These are the worst of times.
What few civilians I see are leaving their villages and making for the borders. Or they’re still in hiding.
There’s a tense stand-off between the two factions, the UFLL and the APR. Maybe they realize that if they attack each other, they’ll kill themselves off in quick order. Whatever it is, the tension is thick. It seems a pin-prick could ignite everything.
When the State Department threatened to forcibly assign U.S. Foreign Service personnel to Iraq in late 2007, many diplomats read about it in the press before hearing about it from their superiors.

I agree with sensical. I already had to deal with the "shoot first, ask questions later" policy !

I can see that in the photo all of the people present are from the APR. Why did this country have to be chosen as the one that would house such chaos and war? And the civilians are the ones who are suffering. In my opinion, I don't think that ending the Jackal's life would stop this war. The Factions themselves are the ones that can find peace.

Do not forget Fela Kuti! This man truly had a vision for Africa, which is why he was hounded until his death by the (controlled) establishment, because he had the power, through music and charisma, to speak to the people, and inform them about the corrupt multinationals and religious organizations plundering Africa. Here is a documentary featuring some of his music.

I see in the photo that the APR and UFLL have plenty of spray paint on hand. That must be the means of demarcation between the two. Although it appears as though the borders are negotiable...with enough bullets. I can see in the photo that someone -- most likely a UFLL member -- spray painted "Army of PissAnt Retards" over the top of an earlier APR tag. While neither side looks to have a distinct advantage over the other, I'm going to have to learn how to play one side or the other (if not both) in order to claim my intended target here.

Is there a cease-fire in action? If so, I didnt realise it. It seems it isnt a very steady one as the mercs are using "shoot first, ask questions later" doctrines on the checkpoints, which isnt very "keep the peace" of them...
