From the Strategy Page, with thanks to EPG:
Members of Somalia's parliament claimed that Ethiopia is continuing to support Somali rebels. The alleged Ethiopian support includes occasional forays by Ethiopian troops into Somali territory. The Somali officials claimed Ethiopian troops crossed into Somalia on May 10. Ethiopia denied the allegation. However, Ethiopia has claimed that Eritrea has ties with some Somali factions. As for the Ethiopia-Eritrea situation, American diplomats fear that Ethiopia and Eritrea could miscalculate in their current border confrontation and resume fighting. The US wants to deny Al Qaeda bases in the Horn of Africa region. An Ethiopia-Eritrea war would destabilize the area and frustrate US counter-terror efforts. So keeping the peace here is a crucial effort in the war on terror...

Ethiopia is Abssynia where the Arabs of the Nejd and Hijaz would raid to get their slaves.
From the looks of the swarthy Arab I suspect that a DNA test would reveal that they are a mix of something with a healthy dose of Abyssinian, thanks to the practise of concubinage and harems.
Pretty much the same thing for Egyptians, Abyssinian and Sudanese negros, in fact a late kingdom Pha RA oh was Abyssinian and the first Pha RA oh that united upper and lower Egypt was Sudanese (called it Nubia in those days).
While I'm on the subject, the Yemeni (Yamani) are normally a short people, however Osama is quite tall, taller than average over 6 ft,and the bin Laden family emigrated to KSA from Yemen.
