#1 Well, since the Ugandans made it very clear that they were going into Somalia, and willing kick ass, others in the AU are now talking about stepping up to the plate with troops. The Ugandans will kill someone if they feel it is necessary, and will kill a lot of someones if they feel that is necessary. They are no shrinking violets, and after their experiences with LRA and its support from the Sudan, they have no love lost for Arabs, Muslims, or both of the above.

#2 Burundi soldiers are Tutsis and Tutsis kick ass. They have litlle in common with the drug-crazed rabble of west Africa.

BTW Arab slave-trader expeditions who tried to foray into Tutsi-ruled pre-colonial Rwanda came back empty handed and with far fewer men than they had at departure. Or didn't came back at all.
