Its really hard to say how outgunned Ethiopia really is at this point. I would like to think that we're giving them some help in the area of funding and arms.
If memory serves (and sometimes it's on vacation), Ethiopia has a wide variety of arms (fairly reliable stuff, just not all of it up to date) from manufacturers all over the world, and plenty of if. The al Qaeda and Hizzies specialize in a sort of "wall of sound" approach derived from Soviet tactics developed in WWII, as well as hit and run tactics against operationally superior foes (like the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Israel in Gaza and Lebanon).
