No Blood for Dirt

Tensions are rising between poor Ethiopia and poor Eritrea:

Ethiopian forces entered archrival Eritrea on Thursday and carried out what a government spokesman described as "a successful attack" against military posts.

Shimeles Kemal said Ethiopia launched the attack because Eritrea was training "subversive groups" that carried out attacks inside Ethiopia.

They went hammer and tong a decade ago. For what end I have no idea.

I will say that I don't trust the Eritreans one bit. They are far too friendly with Iran and jihadists to suit me.
