Blackwater's statement needs to be examined in the light of their activities in Iraq.

""VISION
To support security, peace, freedom, and democracy everywhere."

If anything, Blackwater is responsible for destablizing Iraq and its prouncements about security, peace, freedom and democracy are hollow indeed.

"MISSION
To support national and international security policies that protect those who are defenseless"

Their true mission is to support and protect oil companies, military contractors and armed mercenaries. They torture and kill defenseless people.

" and provide a free voice for all with a dedication to providing ethical, efficient, and effective turnkey solutions that positively impact the lives of those still caught in desperate times."

They are not ethical. They cheat their employees and show lack of regard for their safety and welfare. They are efficient killing mercenaries and reflect the efficiency of their CEO, a fundmentalist religious nut who is wealthy and built up the organization with his cash,
Erik Price. You can google him and find out what his priorities are like. Blackwater would be very dangerous in Africa. It would promote private corporate interests ahead of the needs of the poor people and destablize the country as it is doing in Iraq.
