chaos and honey

as my little x-mas present to everyone allow me to give you a prediction, as outlandish as it may be the ethiopian/ somalia conflict could be one that quickly engulfs many countries and one that could pull in enough players to trigger something huge.....
why?
first of all take a look at this map and remember that good fences make good neighbors and that there is a spectacular LACK of good fences in eastern africa.
MAP
who are the potential players:
somalia - and its multi-bands of various destruction, including one puppet govt, & one radical islamic govt.
ethiopia - which will not allow if it can a islamic radical govt next to it since sudan is already becoming this.......
sudan - and its ever emerging radical chic which includes the like of darfur.
eritrea - always a 'dear' friend of ethiopia.

other potential countries -
uganda - which would side with ethiopia and go after sudan.
kenya - which would possibly interfere with somalia if it saw ethiopia about to fail in its mission.

and the bigger lynchpins and possible entrance into a black hole club:
saudi arabia who might join in if kenya decided to enter the fray to help its poor friend somalia.....

and if this were to happen then it would really become a blood bath of which no one in the end would even remember why they were fighting.

simply put the over/under on the death count for this conflict starting today and ending sometime about 2012 should be about 2 million people.

yet another outstanding job being done by the world govts who care so much about this area. needless to say the UN should take a large bow also.
