African Soldiers for Peace Keeping

It is about time that the African Union, the successor to the Organisation of African Unity, get serious about maintaining law and order on the continent. In almost all African countries, one sees lots of educated young men (some with college degrees) loitering around with nothing to do. Why can the African Union not recruit and train these young people for peace keeping missions? I would go so far to suggest the establishment of a 120,000 man army for West Africa and a 120,000 man army for East Africa. Recruits should be selected from all over the continent; educational qualification should be at least the minimum of secondary or high school completion. Oaths to be taken to protect mother Africa and no allegiance to individual countries. With the support of the United Nations, such a professional army could have solved the problems of Somalia and Darfur.
