#5 Lessee, haven't we been told Qatar is a "good" ally in the WOT ? Just like the Saoodis. There must be a mistake here somewhere.

#6 eritrea is in a parallel position wrt to the Islamists in Somalia, as Pakistan was wrt the Taliban in the 90's. Eritrea is scared of Ethiopia, which conceivably could challenge its very existence, and has fought wars against it, and has current border disputes. As Pakistan was scared of India. Eritrea doesnt want a somalia under the protection of Ethiopia, as Paki didnt want an afghanistan under India or Indias friends. So Eritrea supports the Islamists, even though Eritrea itself doesnt run that kind of regime. And the Gulfies provide backing to the local muslim power - eritrea here, Pakiland in the 90s.
