There is only once choice left, and then the quest is over. Due to luck, skill, and the stupidity of the enemy; it seems that perhaps the Marshal has come out on top. He has won. President Obama is going to visit him and encouraged by liberal reformists, attempt to work with "The Marshal."
Both Eastern Europe and the United States will be trying to curry favor/influence with Ethiopia. Both will compete to unload surplus or second-world quality equipment to Ethiopia. Green Berets and Spetnaz will train with Ethiopian soldiers, and Ethiopian Somalians and Somalians will advise and provide demonstrations on what "Op For" is like.
