Ethiopia is winning in Somalia?
How many Islamists were killed on the road from Baidoa to Mogaidishu? Practically none, if the information from Somalia is at all reliable.
To presume that Ethiopia and the so-called “provisional government” (as a former resident of East Africa, I witnessed just how provisional the “elected” Somali government is) have won anything except a few small dusty skirmishes.
If anything, this invasion has propped up the legitimacy of the ICU in already sympathetic population.
And Ethiopia is picking an interesting time to attack… When neighbouring Somalia was engaged in a 20 year civil war it was none of their business, but just as the war ends, they send in their troops to start a whole new conflict?
