I'd recruit a private militia (lots in West Africa) steal govt choppers, arm myself with AKs and rescue hapless souls.
Contrary to what people think, underneath that thin veneer called civilisation, most are savages and don't know who they really are.
I believe the universe is built on polarities. When more people suffer, more with a conscience usually the timid ones are forced to be courageous. I didn't think I'd be the kind who'd fight back, but you don't know yourself until you've been pushed into a corner. Ma used to say, great change never comes unless you offer it your life.
