"government hopes that the nation's game and nature reserves will become a major tourist attraction"    per Wiki.   

They do not appear to have helped their cause by the pay given the rangers.

Civil war supposedly ended in 1992.    Electoral fraud questions recently but other nations have had this also; e.g. 2000 US election.

Sounds like the government is in fact to blame here.    If anyone has more infomation to the contrary, let's have it.
