Now I'm curious what the impact of UN sanctions was on the other 13 countries that received them:

Afghanistan
Angola
Eritrea and Ethiopia
Haiti
Liberia
Libya
Rwanda
Sierra Leone
Somalia
South Africa
Southern Rhodesia
Sudan
The former Yugoslavia

Sanctions are after all a form of seige warfare that is inherently aimed at the civilian population whatever anyone says. The military, rich and well connected in any country will get what they need. It's always the poor and powerless that suffer.
