Ethiopia in Civil War, end of the line

[Heloin]

Total ignorance of the situation with a slice of racism.

Never change Purpelia.

And what exactly is wrong about my statement? Etiopia is a failure and has been ever since Italy came in and ruined them in the 30's. And now they have a civil war that's only going to make things infinitely worse. Thus anyone that wins this war is going to be left ruling over a shithole country with lots of internal conflict and internal enemies looking for revenge. And this is assuming they don't literally implode. So how exactly is my assessment wrong?

Just about everything you said was wrong or at best such a gross oversimplification as to be useless.

Also what is racist? What does the race of the people living in a shithole that now has a civil war going have to do with the fact it's a shithole with a civil war? You are the only one that cares about race here.

The chieftain comment wasn't a great start for you, describing one of the most powerful and important countries in Africa as far from the important parts of the world also wasn't a help, followed by the general dismissal of murder so casually that it almost seems you are fine with what's happening. In short, yeah it was racist.

Go report this stuff if it's racism. Let mods handle it.

I just really love war and conflict in general. Now it is only a question of which faction to support from afar? Does anyone among us know more about the rebel group(s) rebelling? I take it one of the belligerents is Ethiopia's actual military/government?

Have you no empathy?

Saying things with racist implications is not against the rules so Heloin reporting it would be pretty pointless.

You do understand that in real life war is nothing something to be loved or enjoyed?

He’s a Nazi. Like, Hitler style Nazi.

[Saradena]

Aight so what's the chances of merc groups suddenly setting up in the region.
*looks at Wagner and STTE*

[Insaanistan]

I wonder if Hausa people (Called Tokharir in Ethiopia and Eritrea) will be okay, considering I’m pretty sure many in Ethiopia view them as outsiders.

[Haruhi Japan]

Wow this is sooooo cool! Another war going on it just like that game HOI or Call of Duty that everyone is talking about. I can't wait to pick a side! Who do you think is going to win?

Dude, no. Not cool.

.... These are real people getting caught up in this violence, what the hell. I'm all for levity and dark humour but man.

[Salus Maior]

...This is why the Solomonids need to be put back.

You know, the particularly harsh side of me hopes you get drafted someday.

The more upright side of me really just pities you.

I'm sorry... you are right We shouldn't joke about things like this but... I don't know I am just bored with the usual absurdity of life. I think we need a war or two to spicin' things up a bit!

In fairness it is often tempting to sit back and watch things unfold, but yeah I doubt I'd be saying the same if I were there.

Yeah, nothing like children shitting their pants in the terror of an air raid or civilians being burned to a crisp by napalm to "spice things up" on TV and keep you entertained.

Just like the Hunger Games!

I'm not trolling, I was being sarcastic. There's a difference.

[Haruhi Japan]

But seriously, this will probably end in a stalemate and Ethiopia will once again fall into another slump because of this. I highly doubt the US or any other first world country will do anything about this.

And what exactly is wrong about my statement?

Well, to start with, no one is fighting to be "Chieftain." Or, in fact, fighting over who will be any kind of national ruler. So basically your entire synopsis is wrong.
