Quick, who has the "UN-Involved in Africa Pic" of the UN Peacekeepers and can you repost it here ASAP? I need to show it to someone. Thanks

At the very least set up.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Yeah, but the sign itself seems a bit dodgy. A sign in English in Africa that reads, "Involved in Africa"? I also hate to say it, but it looks like it was added after the fact digitally.

From the focus of the image, the whole wall was added digitally.

There are countries in Africa that speak English I think.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

South Africa I believe. I have a sneaky suspicion Kenya do as well.

English is used as the language of administration in most of Britain's former African colonies, like Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, etc. Likewise there are a ton of countries that use French.

IIRC, Zimbabwe uses the native language of whoever happens to be holding either the biggest wallet or biggest gun at the time.

If a picture was worth a thousand words, or even just a hundred. What would this one say?
