 Get
Ethiopian troops out of Somalia
By Gregory H. Winger Opinion from the September 25, 2006 edition
ALEXANDRIA, VA. – In matters of war, America must be
wary of an ally who greets her with a beggar's hand. This is the
case with Ethiopia and its involvement in the war on terror: The
country hopes that if it helps keep radical Islam at bay in the horn
of Africa, the US will send aid its way. In early summer, at the
request of the fledgling Somali government, neighboring Ethiopia
moved troops into Somalia to halt the advance of the Union of
Islamic Courts (UIC), which already controls much of the south,
including Mogadishu, Somalia's capital. |

its flag or its citizens hold authority, is it possible to
conclude that such a country is independent? Can we assert
there really exist governments in Africa in general? What
brought about the demise of their survival? Why should aid
