"Siba Grovogui: It's complicated. What seems like a simple, unambiguous thing in Europe has several levels for us in Africa.

Nevertheless, there is also great unease about the Western reaction. There is a suspicion that the United Nations is being deprived of its meaning, that UN institutions such as the Security Council are being ignored and that NATO is acting alone.
