It will end up as a tool for protecting the African Big Men from democracy.
Anyway, where will they get the money from?

Zuma wants African stability force
May 7, 2013 | Sapa | 39 comments
The
African Union needs a stronger military capacity to respond to instability on
the continent, notably in central Africa, President Jacob Zuma said.
CLARIFYING ISSUES: President Jacob
Zuma
He was speaking to journalists at
Tuynhuys after talks with his Nigerian counterpart Goodluck Jonathan.
Zuma said he shared with Jonathan
"the same vision" of a conflict resolution mechanism led by Africans.
"The need for an intervention
brigade has become more crucial in light of the situations of instability in
the Central African Republic, eastern DRC, and Mali, where decisive intervention
is needed," he said.
The issue deserved attention as the
continent prepared to celebrate half a century of formal pan-African
integration, Zuma said, referring to the birth of the Organisation of African
Unity in May 1963.
"As we mark the golden jubilee,
on the 25th of May, it is crucial to build a stronger and well-resourced
African Union to take forward the promotion of peace, security, and the safe
economic advancement of our continent.
"Part of the capacity by the AU
is the establishment of the African standby force, for rapid deployment in
crisis areas without delay."
Jonathan is paying his first state
visit to South Africa and will attend the 23rd World Economic Forum on Africa
in Cape Town this week.
The governments of South Africa and
Nigeria signed nine agreements and memoranda of understanding on Tuesday,
pledging co-operation in, among others, defence, gas exploration, and power
sector development.
