In the mission "The White Mamba", Snake is tasked with capturing Eli, the leader of a group of African Child Soldiers who have taken over a village and driven off all the adults. When confronting Eli in his makeshift headquarters, a pig's head can be seen laying on a table in the middle of the room, and the boy himself happens to be carrying a conch shell on his hip.

After Eli and the boys under his command escape from Mother Base and take Metal Gear Sahelanthropus with them, they establish their own civilization on a remote island and use Sahelanthropus as a deterrent from retaliation.
