#4 The Ethiopian Army may not be truly high-level, but they did fight the Somali Army back when there was one and crushed it in open battles. They are more than a match for khat-chewing jihadis in technicals, especially since their rules of warfare tend to be much more practical and basic. The Ethiopians also did show much concern with taking Somali prisoners, the last go-around.
