It's clear I'm dealing with a moron here. You said Ethiopia intervened to help Puntland, the fact is they didn't. Ethiopia's role was to oust the ICU. A country does not revolve its foreign policy around a single individual.Than why didn't Puntland mighty army of 2500 recruits did not retake Mogadishu from ICU themselves and instead they polished the shoes of Ethiopian Army to invading Mogadishu?
AY might been thirsty for power but he thought first and foremost was to guarantee the security of his home state Puntland.
