The mechanics and nature of British interventions into Sierre Leone (2000) and Afghanistan (2001-2002) - 2003

Entered on 09/APR/2003

This article explains the mechanics of military intervention and peacekeeping from the decision-making process to deployment into an intra-state conflict of post-conflict environment. The main scenario engaged here is the operation into Sierre Leone in May 2000. A comparison is drawn between Sierre Leone experience and the decision-making process, and deployment into Afghanistan December 2001-2002 that was arguably 'as bad as it gets'.
