They're really interesting countries! And I get what you mean - you rarely see things set there that don't focus on the wars (or partisan activity in WWII, I guess). I wanted to try to focus on a new generation, and how the past affects them. The fact that Tarik is even studying Peace and Conflict studies is as a result of the siege, I gues.
I don't think he sounds undesirable; I think it sounds normal for someone with PTSD to lose control when they enconter prejudice after they'd witnessed a genocide. Obviously, whether the character is a good portrayal of someone from the area also hinges on how three-dimensional they are, and what they're like when they're not having an episode.
