Note: I said, "I think this is a beginning of a trend," not a trend in progress. I think more countries will go through this. It's a projection of what may come, not an absolute. I think the chances are good, over the next few decades we'll see more of this.

And THIS is why a military ruled by the civilian government with volunteer-only service is ESSENTIAL. The Africans just don't seem to get that. Doesn't help that have to contend with absurd numbers of islamic militants, though.

You are aware of the African Union, right? Think UN for Africa. There's also ECOWAS, SADDC, EAC, EGAD, MRU... ETA: Africa is the second largest continent, following Asia. DRC alone has about 250 different ethnic groups. That's a lot of very different peoples to get to come together... RE: Young as 6 raped by troops in Congo who fled M23
