What this report shows with such stark clarity is that the Western discourse of liberal good governance and rights, which sounds very nice because they relate to real human aspirations, is a façade behind which a police state has emerged. A security-led project of this nature with its economic aspect as well as its law enforcement dimension has little relation to true institution or state-building. It is no accident that parliamentary oversight, accountability and systems of justice have atrophied, whilst massive Western assistance has been directed to so-called security-service reform.
