Abstract
- This article presents information on the war in Ethiopia. The civil war in Ethiopia goes largely unreported. The regular forces of the insurgency in Ethiopia fluctuate between 10,000 and 30,000 men, and by now are in virtual control of the countryside in an area of northern Ethiopia that includes all of the empire's seacoast. Moreover, the guerrillas are organized into a uniformed, disciplined "Liberation Army," the military arm of a disciplined, Chinese-supported, "Liberation Front." The soldiers of the Front are armed with modern Kalatchnikov automatic assault rifles, Chinese rockets and mortars.
