Hi,
Some has already stated this above the environment is ever worse then Iraq in once sence.
Its actually very similar to risks such as from countries like Saudi Arabia ( worst country ever) I belive..the protection is always carried out unarmed.
For everything you do there is a jailsentence waiting for you, the thing in saudi is that everyone hate you and want to see you dead..the killings and kidnaps started again last year after a 2 year brake...
There is huge risks to westerners traveling there..the thing is you know they hate you.
in Africa they will kill you because you might have a watch or some new sneakers.
And the criminals are not a small % in the towns its rather 90%..so identifying a threat in Africa is more easy and still no armed protection is possible unless you know a war lord hehe..
I know we all look for work, but I have actually turned down job offers in Iraq because friends told me food and equipment is worse ever..
When I finaly went in I had a excellent company that I be honered to work with again anywhere..
Atleast they have eqipment ..
We all could do a good job probebly in good teams with professionals and excellent equipment, but when you are issued a machete to protect a client in Africa, when robbers and murders have AKs..
Getting a job might just not be worth it to any cost?
Be careful with what you wish for
