African Taliban Back On The Move

And running around freely in Mogadishu, it seems.

Even in the capital, where the government is still nominally in control, Shabab fighters carry out public punishments like lashings and stonings, conduct training exercises and present themselves as alternate government.

The Ethiopians, who invaded and drove the Islamists into the hinterlands of Somalia, have apparently adopted a new strategy of sitting on their asses. Somalia is one country I'm starting to think would be better off if we just took off and nuked the place from orbit.
