The UN-installed Prime Minister of Haiti cannot get back into his country, because he went to Kenya to try and ram through UN inspired police legislation there (that had already been voted down and ruled unconstitutional), and his own government locked down the airspace and won't let him back in. His major opponent is one Jimmy "Barbeque" Cherizier, former cop, current gang leader, and (per the UN) supposed lover of massacres and necklacings (hence the nickname). On first glance, this seems to be straightforward... UN stooge versus man of the people. But it seems that some of his sub-gangs have... developed a taste for the long pig.

Eh 50/50, the French have a history of fucking up their colonies as much as the Italians. Remember, Vietnam WAS French and Somalia WAS Italian.
Wait aren't some of those having/had coups recently?
And isn't mainland France still on fire, covered in shit?
Depends on which parts of the US you want to concentrate on.
The point I'm making is European colonisation ALONE isn't enough, you also need to keep intact the local cultural hegemony whether that's tribal or theocratic and have the balance be they control the local level but answer to the colonial at an international level.
The tribal structure being intact after British rule in Somaliland is why they are a functional country unlike Somalia.
Bad response. You lose.
Not to mention the utter shitshow that was Algeria
