If not, I don’t care if they are an African, European, or an Asian army, civilians are going to run away.  Our key strategic goal here, is to help build African armies to which civilians in distress run towards, not away from.”-Alexander Laskaris, Deputy to the Commander for Civil-Military Engagement on the U.S. Africa Command (former U.S. ambassador to Guinea under the Obama regime)
