#1 Kismayu, which is a lucrative source of taxes and other income for their fighters

I.e. extorting and looting infidel (mostly American) aid.

#4 This is good news, all them Kalashnikovs from the same dealer wearing themselves out against each other, and none to replace them, /sarc on/off, not sure, time will tell.
But I bet both sides are fighting with Chinese weapons, and there will be an endless supply of those.
Divide and Rule rules from somewhere?

Let them get on with it more quickly now, and do it properly.

#7 Look at antenna tubing, it's rigid aluminum and strong but light.

#8 Ummm a sudden thought, I've seen crossbow bolts advertised should be easy to find online, or just get a small pipe cutter and shorten common hunting arrows. if not strong enough, or you wish Invisibility, Wooden dowells or small pipe should stand the thrust.
