Update: Ethiopia has seemingly crushed the Islamic Extremists, who are said to be "in full retreat" and most of them are/were foreginers. Over 1,000 of the Islamic fighters were killed in Ethiopia's agressive campaign aganist them. However, it is speculated that even if Ethiopia crushed the group in this war, it would probably just result in peace talks between the official government and the Islamic group.
After denying for months they even had combat troops inside the borders of Somalia, Ethiopia has now come into a state of open war with Islamic Extremists who effectively control Somalia. Ethiopia has a large majority of Christians, whereas its neighbor Somalia is almost purely Islamic. Islamic Extremists have been successfully wresting control of city after city from Somalia's extremely weak, ineffective internationally recognized government, which is now holed up in one small city in the entire country, the rest being controlled by the Islamist, including the Capitol of Somalia, Mogadishu. Somalia's main airport, which recently reopened in Mogadishu, was bombed by Ethiopia's Russian made fighter jets. Another airport close by was also hit by the fighter jets.
