One of the sites I check to hear what is happening in the world is called The Wire. I subscribed on You Tube. It gives a daily update that lasts from 2 to 8 minutes. It often covers things that are downplayed by the other news sources.
This morning he touched on the rising tension between Ethiopia and Somalia. It seems Egypt has sent troops to Somalia for “war games” and Ethiopia is reinforcing their border. I’m hearing all kinds of reasons and rationales. What I’m not hearing is the possible religious difference.
Somalia is Muslim. Ethiopia, at least historically, has been Christian. I realize that religion is not the only source of conflict in Africa but it seems like it might be one of the elements.
I did a quick scan of other news clickbait sites and could find no mention of the conflict.
