Of course a lot more happened. That was a short list. However, over here in the US, those are some of the perceived things that happened that are used to advertise/justify the existence of an AFRICOM (though it already existed under another name).

We can add more to my short list, like the Rwanda genocide, the wonderful world of Robert Mugabe, etc., etc., etc.

However, like I said before, I am all for Africa working these problems out for herself.
