  5. Were they really peacekeepers, or arms smugglers, U S AID is an American N G O of many that destabilize other nations for their Natural Resources Wealth, which in turn impoverish those nations civilians, although they're free, I'd say they got off with a light sentence

    Hate me if you will, I could care less. The question is" what were they doing in Nigeria ? Why did D C sent them there ? Oil ? Natural Gas ? Etc., etc., etc., or was it to supply weapons to the Terrorists unknowingly ? Various N G O. are known for just that…
