Washington gets Ethiopia to invade Somalia and then....

Nine Chinese nationals and sixty-five Ethiopians working at an oil exploration installation in eastern Ethiopia were killed on Tuesday 24 April by armed men who attacked a dawn. Another seven Chinese nationals were kidnapped.

The attack, led by rebels supported by Eritrea, says Addis-Abeba, targeted installations owned by Zhongyuan Petroleum Exploration Bureau in Abole, a small town in the Ogaden region according to the New China News Agency.
