Claire, You will need to dig a little deeper to unravel some of these things. Securing your country's interests via diplomacy is an advanced game of chess. Moves you make today may appear nonsensical or counter productive but the full effects (and rationale) will be understood much later as events unfold Read this http://www.thinkersroom.com/blog/2005/07/get-real-global-politics-101-live-8... an example of how these things are done. Also do some research into how complete manipulation of governments by government and big business is also part of the game.

Rad. I don't mean to disagree with your claim... but what if that's what [that they're here for American interests only] they want us to believe and not what is really going on? Western diplomats in Africa are known for meddling in the affairs of their host countries. That's a fact, so it could be more than just about interests.
Simon. They are here for the same reasons we have posted our folks to their home countries. Those reasons are defined by the Vienna Convention. I haven't read it because I am not interested in the nitty-gritty but I must say humans will always be suspicious of the other.
