Various writers have tried to pen imagined distopias of such unbridled horror that the readers would be sickened. Taylor and his friend Prince Johnson left them in the shade. On some people, the veneer of civilization is very thin.
Whenever I consider that Attorney General Holder is the most racist man in America and is staffing the Justice Department with people who will remain there forever, corrupting the ebb and flow of justice in America, I can at least keep in mind that he is not a knee-jerk anti-American like Clark. Having life bureaucrats at Justice who will behave as reliably despicably as Interior Department and National Park thugs and IRS bureaucrats and EPA enforcers is really not good for America. They fail to see it but their actions actively invite contempt for the law and do you know what West Africa is best known for? Yep. Contempt for the law.

A thin veneer, indeed. We cannot (should not) even dream of dealing with characters such as Taylor according to traditional diplomatic and political principals. And, looking at the others you mentioned, this is not specifically an African or non-Western phenomenon. They are truly aliens to the community of the world.
This was about little resident local evils. I'm a little more worried, to be honest, about a certain superpower using drones to find and snuff out all the little resident opportunists who believe in overthrowing the regime. We do it now everyday but it's important to keep in mind that George Washington led the rebellion and it was incited by a host of other men we hold in some high regard. If George III could have snuffed them, he would have.
