TARGET AFRICA
Looking for good information about the jihadis' rolling take-over of Somalia, I came across this article, that gives an in-depth review and analysis of the individuals, their Wahhabi salafist ideology and their aims. The picture is grim.
In the long run, the weak states bordering the now well-established tumor of jihadi control in Mogadishu will not be able to put up a vigorous resistance. The group in control of Mogadishu is now getting arms from Iran and other state sponsors of jihad. In the past, Ethiopia has served as a bulwark against Somali Islamofascist expansion, but I think that only a small increase in the latter's firepower will turn the balance. If you look at a map of Africa, you can see that there is an eastern extension of Ethiopia that is ripe for being cut off and added to the dar al-Islam. Next stop, Kenya and Eritrea. With southern Sudan set to fall into jihadi hands eventually, Ethiopia would be hopelessly surrounded.
