Wiil The kid dancing across the street OBVIOUSLY did not know what he was doing. There are also a lot of guys milling around in close quarters doing nothing for a while - one artillery shell and they're all toast. They should have been more dispersed.
Also, they are not uniformed. This is a mistake as being non-uniformed is going to cause the Ethiopians to simply shoot whoever they see in the neighborhood. Lack of uniforms makes differentiation between combatant and non-combatant impossible, and thus causes a lot of civilian casualties. Also, by attacking the Ethiopians in the city, they cause a lot of property damage, should they care about that.
This isn't ICU --this is neighborhood youth organizing their own resistance --If you think this is the highly trained and hardened ICU you must be phuck up!
ICU is doing the night raids on Villa Somalia and On Ethiopian Conveys --and they driving Mini-vans heavily armed --5 mins boom baam! and their job is done! u won't see them day time.
As usual the resistance solidifies and becomes more competant when the first brave (idiots) are out of the way. the smart ones, the ones who know what they are doing survive and continue.
The ethiopians will leave becuase the resistance will outlast them, and the Ethiopians do not have the resources to sustain this for more than a year.
"The ethiopians will leave becuase the resistance will outlast them, and the Ethiopians do not have the resources to sustain this for more than a year."
In principal I agree with this line of thought. The variable is, of course, the US. Will the US provide the necessary resources? Don't know.
