Abesha forums is GREAT! They are way cooler and more educated than the Zoomalian scumbags roaming the internet. Even on Oromo and Sudanese forums, these morons find a way to embarrass themselves.
About the topic -- Patriot, where do you think warlords were getting their weapons? You think an honest broker like China would sell to Habar Yibir or some other random clan? This is the real world and only desperate states like Ethiopia and Eritrea sell weapons to the starving. Did you know that Ethiopia trained the Puntland army throughout the 1990s, same for Somaliland. But the arms trade is part of Ethiopia's economy, its not limited to a few renegade officers. Stirring shit in Somalia keeps that industry alive and they've done well in the last 20 years. Even Yemen used to be part of this industry, but recently their economy has really picked up due to reforms, so they stopped selling their guns like they used to.
