Strange. Fox news had their military expert, a general(ret) say the US citizens have gone. Only the embassy personnel and the Marine det. are left.

Im not freaked out, but I predict they will end up fighting on the side of the most radical muslim faction. Neither side is Muslim. Both tribes are overwhelmingly Christian/animist.

Neither side is Muslim. Both tribes are overwhelmingly Christian/animist. Would eliminating one or both sides enable the muslims in the north to invade?
