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.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2024-260: Headlines: The Horn of Africa
Opus 2018-204: Headlines: The Consistent Communist, South Africa Implodes
I have mentioned South Africa and the communist destruction of that country at least twice. Although it is starting as murder and genocide against white farmers the real goal is the destabilization and destruction of a once prosperous nation. I find that South Africa’s agony is something that many people still do not hear about in the MSM. Since I don’t frequent any of the liberal voices I don’t know if they are covering what is going on there. I have found that people who rely on the leftist talking heads don’t seem to hear anything.
Walter Williams has a good post giving background at The Daily Signal. He makes the link to the way Zimbabwe was similarly destroyed. In typical Williams style he gives some interesting statistics about inflation. Evidently the highest inflation rate in history took place in Hungary in 1946 at 41.9 quadrillion. That makes Venezuela look like a booming economy. What they have in common is communist overlords.
If you have been following this tragedy then you probably don’t need to read this article. If you have not, it might be good for you to check it out.
