#3  The current imp is obvious, who doesn't want a win, in the conventional sense. But screwups in Africa didn't start in 2008, either.

#1  Words cannot express the utter stupidity and self-destructiveness of US policy in allying itself to the rabble of Ouattara and his friends. What government in Africa will ever trust or deal openly with such a maniacal formulation of national interest on the part of the US. The US is at war in Africa. To win, or survive, requires helping one's friends and punishing one's enemies. What imp of the perverse can have gotten things so wrong; and so often?

The current imp is obvious, who doesn't want a win, in the conventional sense. But screwups in Africa didn't start in 2008, either.
