I wonder if anything is going to be left of the continent by 2008 when I get there? Ethiopia prepared to invade Somalia By LES NEUHAUS, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 36 minutes ago NAIROBI, Kenya - Ethiopia is prepared to invade neighboring Somalia to defend its U.N.-backed government against what appeared to be an imminent attack by Islamic militiamen, a government spokesman said Wednesday. The militiamen, who hold most of southern Somalia, deployed hundreds of fighters outside the town where the largely powerless government is based and said they planned to seize it. "We have the responsibility to defend the border and the Somali government. We will crush them," Ethiopia's Minister of Information, Berhan Hailu, told The Associated Press. Seizing the town of Baidoa would give the Islamic militia — which the United States has linked to al-Qaida — the uncontested authority over most of Somalia. Somali transitional President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed is allied with Ethiopia, and has asked for its support. Ethiopia has intervened militarily in Somalia in the past, and hundreds of Ethiopian troops have been spotted along the countries' border in recent weeks. The Somali Islamist militants are allied with Muslim separatists in the Oromo region of Ethiopia.

500 grains, I do believe that Koffi is having coffee with his son to discuss what their percentages will be in what ever aid can be extorted from the west in the interests of peace and prosperity for all. Perhaps I am either mistaken, or maybe a little bit jaded by time, surely not wisdom. ![]() Member NRA, SCI- Life #358 28+ years now!

Fjold There were three to four wars ongoing inside Ethiopia when I was a kid there. Never heard a shot fired myself (although that was mostly timimg, as not all others can say the same). Still have the same scenario thirty + years later, just different players. Stick with your PH of choice and run anxieties through him and your outfitter / US agent. You will be happy you went ANYHOW. You'll find a safe hunt somewhere. Nice avatar, BTW. Stick with game in Africa, though, not two-legged "VARMNT"s. As long as they want our hard currency and the desire for doing good business remains strong, you have many allies in your quest. :-) _______________________ | |||

I spent a night with the mattress off my bed stacked against the French doors on the patio of my hotel room as the car bombs went off in the streets of Karachi, Pakistan, so I don't like countries in civil unrest.

Fjold Hard to put something like that aside, for sure. Stay away from shooting wars, I'm with you all the way. Won't say I didn't notice the old avatar -- something from The Learning Channel it sppeared under some scrutiny. Nice plate(s)? Do you have to have two in CA? Cheers B _______________________ | |||

They are just going in to take care of that Islamic Courts bunch. Ethopia has done it a couple of times before. Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do. | |||
