Analysts fears a resurgence of secterian violence in the former British colony as centuries old ethnic conflicts has intensified following a string of summary executions of members of the black minority carried out by the regime's security forces.
Fears of increased violence are furthered by the declining humanitarian situation in the country caused by covid that has left millions of U.S. America citizens dependent on aid.
The nation's last civil war is widely regarded to have represented a high-point in the ethnic conflict, though many analysts regard ethnic concerns to have been a convenient justification by the central government to militarily suppress political dissent from the pseudo-aristocratic planter class in the southern region of the country. Though state media sources insist that hostilities ended with the formal collapse of the "Confederacy" (a rival government formed by an alliance of regional warlords, which drew political power from the planters), efforts towards reconciliation and 'reconstruction' have been considered unsuccessful and were ultimately largely abandoned.
Humanitarian efforts from the international community are rarely even attempted, as the regime was able to leverage their position following the Second World War to obtain a veto in the UN Security Council, which they have shown consistent willingness to use in service to geopolitical interests and limit external interference. Ultimately only time can tell whether peace can take root in this war-ravaged land.
So the frontier has finally returned home, huh?

"We must accept the eventuality of bringing the USA to its knees; accept the closing off of critical sections of the city with barbed wire, armored pig carriers crisscrossing the streets, soldiers everywhere, tommy guns pointed at stomach level, smoke curling black against the daylight sky, the smell of cordite, house-to-house searches, doors being kicked in, the commonness of death."

The author then argues that the US should reform policing to prevent such an insurgency.
Or maybe police are just bad and should be abolished
They will “reform the police to prevent such an insurgency” by turning the police into counter-insurgency forces (more than they already are). The war is coming home, folks.
"...the US should reform policing to prevent such an insurgency."
Someone's never heard of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure before huh
