What's the redpill on how Ethiopia ended up landlocked?

It only took some searching on Google to learn about Saudi's "investments" in Eritrea, of which I have to wonder if a long term one is ensuring that Eritrea ends up majority Muslim (thereby making the entire Red Sea coastline Muslim).

What's the redpill on how Ethiopia ended up landlocked?

This may sound counterintuitive, which it is (by design). But the short answer is, "It's the jews."

Eric Prince's is asking the Pope to fund his PMC in deploying in Nigeria. Talk about the neverending slaughter of Christians in Nigeria (and elsewhere) is starting to go mainstream, Muslim Fulani herdsmen, radicalized Hausa villagers and a wide array of jihadists groups have been killing Nigerian Christians with impunity in much of the country, many Nigerians believe their own Northern Hausa-Fulani (Muslim) dominated central government is working in cahoots with the perps

GOP Congressman Riley Moore wrote a letter in the issue to Marco Rubio, urging action on the matter. Numbers below are conservative, real casualty numbers are likely above 100 000.

Reminder that the Pope has still not responded to Eric Prince's offer to send his PMC to Nigeria on the Vatican's dime, nor has the Pope specifically mentioned the suffering of Nigerian Christians at the hands of both regular Muslim pastoralist tribes and jihadists.

Nicki Minaj on the other hand has.

Trump was cooking again, he's got his eyes on Nigeria. Although I'd advise Donny to talk a bit less and act a bit more, first it was Greenland and Canada, then Venezuela and now it's suddenly Nigeria. The Venezuela thing is still in the cards yet everything else seems more about hot air and testing the waters than anything else.


The Changs have come out against DC's statement of intent, China has been investing a lot in Nigeria, Beijing is especially interested and involved in mineral and other raw resource extraction, often illegally too.



Word on the street is that illegal Chinese mining companies are working hand in glove with local governments, bandits and terror groups to weaken central authority and hence create more room for illicit business practices.

Twenty something have in the past week urged their citizens to immediately leave Mali, and a few of those have their started vacating their embassies+consulates in Mali. JNIM, which is an AQ affiliate, controls much of the country and has recently imposed a fuel blockade on the capital Bamako. Talk about an imminent collapse of the Malian central government is premature, yet overall the security situation has been one of steady decline. Security situation is similarly poor in Burkina Faso. Nigeria and Niger rank one step below that, and JNIM/ IS attacks have spread to Cameroon, Benin, Togo, Chad and Senegal.

Security situation in Nigeria is worsening, especially in the North. It's a mix of communal violence, jihadism and organized crime aka 'banditry'. Much but not all of the violence is aimed at Nigerian Christians in the Northern provinces, primarily due to religion and primarily because Christians are a minority and considered 'Southerners', even if they belong to Northern tribes. They are vulnerable hence a prime target. The Nigerian military is dominated by Muslim Northerners, yet losing ground, and many of the jihadists, bandits and pastoralists/herdsman are armed to the teeth.

Trump Administration is preparing a heavy sanction packet and possible strikes to compel the Nigerian government to protect Christian communities. Allegedly people from within the US state apparatus have told Nigerian President Tinibu to sit still and not respond to Trump's earlier allegations and statements, Tinibu was told to wait it out until Trump's attention would switch elsewhere. That doesn't seem to have happened and plans are put forward, for now at least.

A few days ago over 300 Christian girls were kidnapped from a Christian boarding school in Niger State. This happened a few days after 50+ girls were kidnapped from Kebbi State. Today children were kidnapped in Nassarawa State. If not freed these girls will be distributed amongst jihadists fighters to serve as brides. Niger State is far from the traditionally hot jihadist area in North East Nigeria, meaning that the insurgency is spreading and central authority weakening elsewhere. Similarly several churches in the North have been attacked last week, the video below shows a church being under attack and the attackers eventually breaking in.

I think we will find that US agencies are funding the Islamists in the region, just like they funded Al-Qaeda. Make the problem, provide the solution.
