After ten years of civil war in which grave human rights violations and atrocities were committed, especially against women and children, Sierra Leone was regarded as a «failed state». A massive UN peacekeeping mission managed to demobilize the combatants in 2002 and peace was restored.

For the author, the greatest risk to a state is violence, which can quickly spiral out of control in a weak state and lead to chaos.
