If you've spent 4yrs travelling through SE Asia, I'm sure you will have developed the instincts you need to spot trouble, wherever you are.
I came through Africa alone in 2003. Starting my trip just before the Iraq war started, most countries I went through were British Foreign Office 'taboo'. The only time I encountered trouble was when I decided to go through areas which were very obviuosly dodgy at the time. Keep an eye on the local news and listen to the locals, that should give you a good headstart.
