Cyberpunk society, Cyberpunk business and today's war crimes

 Which region is struggling most in this World? 

Africa.

The latest news told me at my little firsts world desk trying to make some buggs with strange, electronic music that in the north of Ethiopia Eritrean forces caused war crimes. 

Just Eritrea sais wasn't me.

So, that area is in the east of Africa close to Yemen, which is in flames too, and Saudi Arabia with its oil is also just next door. Inbetween is the silk road, the actual silk road wich is a ship route connecting Asia and Europe through the Suez Channel a bit further north.

East Africa: Same place where Somaly Pirates make ships speed up. Same area where Black Hawk went down.

Well, kind of same place. The area currently in the news is like 400 kilometeres of heavy terrain. It is like the African version of Vietnam to modern armies. Must be beatiful mountains in times of peace.

There is no way that that strip and its connection to the open sea can or is surveilled by the local forces. Thats third world forces using hand guns like cheap AK copies and Pick-Up Trucks with some ancient anti aircraft gun to kill each other. Some old T74 tanks might be around and possibly NATO screpped of some expensive in running cost figthter jets, too.

For some reason I consider the possibility that those forces commiting crimes there are guns for hire. I mean, that sounds just like a pretty nasty shadow run for a ConMan in the Dark Future Cyperbunk Pen and Pepar game I used to play when I was 15... A ConMan that tries to enforce his MegaCorporations interests for Crypto currency looking for some mercenary. 

Ah... I did not check wich mining companies are currently exploiting that region or which Ships from which Fright company are under most attac by Pirates. Those that could use even smaller boats than the Somalies in that part of the Eastern Cape of Africa the silk road passes by.

But I am well aware of drug money needing to be invested, of 16ts of Kokain seized in Hamburg that are not snorred into some managers small greedy brain he bought of some underworld low life. That would be ConMan and Shadow runner of the Real World. So the drug money buys the unforms, guns, ammo and transportation to get, if coming out alive, crime war money.
