As opposed to who, the Ethiopians?

Where in the title of the article does it even mention Ethiopia? It doesn't. What propaganda could they wring out of having the Ethiopians in the headlines. None. How much propaganda if the 'Satan' US was?

So blame the headline writer. But the fact is that Somalis conflate the Ethiopians and Americans. Both are foreign. Both are predominately Christian, and the Americans have strongly backed the unpopular Ethiopian invasion. Ethiopian troops have acted badly, and America, not just Ethiopia, gets the blame from the Somali public.
