Africa has some real problems. One of them is religious groups using their power to oppress people.
The US shouldn't do anything overtly, but there are ways to deal with these little problems before they become bigger. We have an agency that should be able to take care of this problem quietly and keep our military out of it.
That is what I would like to see done.
