I wouldn't want it to look like the US is trying to steal their shit or set up a colony, or whatever it is us evil Americans do.
This is truly one of the great problems of today. I agree with letting the UN handle most of it, as that would make the most sense as well. We do not have the resources (at this time, anyway) to make it happen effeciently, as big of a project as it would be.

WRT killing each other, I'm terribly uneducated on modern African culture and civilization and do not know where the lines are drawn from one civil war to the next. Understanding that, above all else, is the key to finding a solution.
