The Somali warlords were picked up off the coast of Somalia by a US Navy sub when they fled Somalia (before the Pentagon sent in DynCorp with their AC-130s aerial weapons platforms[tm] to strafe anything that moved), and promptly delivered them to Kenyan soil, but the Kenyan government found out, complained publicly (most likely due to other regional diplomacy issues), and threatened to arrest them... So the TFG mercs were taken to Ethiopia, set up with the previously stated air support...Ethiopia backed our HOA play, and the rest is history. On a similar note: Recently, the South Korean government raised a big stink over the fact that the US stood idly by while the North Korean government shipped Russian weapons and parts via ship to Ethiopia circumventing UN sanctions that the US government had sponsored, cajoled, threatened, other UN nations to sign onto. http://www.watchingamerica.com/chosunilbo000022.shtml Those weapons and parts were resupply for the Ethiopian army in Somalia.
