Campaign Mishap

While on campaign tonight I was attacked by a nasty horde of flies. I come to a door, knock, and suddenly a dozen or so flies go right at me. Very unpleasant.

Ethiopia Invades Somalia Again

This is good news for the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. It gives them the needed forces to hold territory against Al Shabaab. While this will spark recruitment to Al Shabaab, if used properly Ethiopia's new intervention may be used to bring the military side of the conflict to an end. However, do not be too hopeful as the Ethiopian military probably has the resources to conduct up to six months of occupation, but then will probably stalemate like the previous occupation did. How Puntland responds to this will be crucial, as their merger with the TFG was the lifesaver when Ethiopia withdrew.
