#2 An interesting development. Gedo is a Somalia province located well to the south. and it borders south-southeasternmost Ethiopia. There are, or at least there were, six refugee camps situated in Ethiopia and just across the international boundary. That Gedo has been used by diplomats, etc., is laughable. It may well be that Ethiopia is aware that Moga is so slow, the conquest of southern Somalia from the Islamists may take forever. Thus, it might be helping things along. On the other hand Ethiopia may be looking for a war. Somalia has rejected its move to create a port with Somaliland, and Ethiopia badly needs a port. But for sure, a Somalia-Ethiopia combat is a lose-lose situation.
