If there is a watertight deal to drop them off at another state that is an option I'd not considered. Evidence would be a problem... although of course many African states wouldn't be overly troubled by such things, especially if they get money for taking them.
Getting a working justace system is more "ideal" but far far harder and basically not a realistic option IMO. Without clear aims and a clear will - neither are present - it'd go nowhere.
How to enourage the villagers without it turning into scalping 'em for money / a slave trade where people are captured, money is paid by the West and they are thrown in jail down the coast. I guess you probably can't.
