Darkwolf, if you could elaborate on what you have in mind for Zimbabwe I'd greatly appreciate it. They're still a SSIC member state (at least as far as SSIC is concerned), despite their current government not being recognized as legitimate due to the way it came into power. It'd be awfully touchy for a European power to intervene directly in Africa. EDIT: I answered my own question through the wondrous powers of reading comprehension just after making the post. The one about Zimbabwe still stands.
