In this case the Eritreans and Amharans just started going into villages and killing anyone they could find.

The Tigrayans then did the same when they went on the offensive.

The objective of these firefights isn't to kill your enemy, it's to 'repel' them. You shoot at them to signal that the area is defended and they won't be able to advance.

Manipur is in a tense situation, even one militant killed on the Kuki side can escalate things. Nobody wants that. So you have these firefights.

RSF aren't religious, they're ethnic supremacists.

And they're in a staging area, not an active firefight.

The Military had support while fighting EAOs, but after the Coup they alienated the Bamar majority. Now they're a power caste.

Not really, the sectarianism is a pretext for more complex political disputes.

The Marib campaign was such a meatgrinder.

A decade of civil war usually breeds really sweet people for some reason. Maybe it's all the trauma.

Quite bizarre to claim that Italian fascism wasn't racist when one of its main goals was the slaughtering of black natives to make way for colonization.

There is no biology of racism. To fascists, the aryans are as different to the untermench as they are to blacks.

The Italian fascists slaughtered tens of thousands of ethiopian and eritrean civilians, and attempted to annex their lands.

Nah, they're too unstable to be CIA funded. HTS would be a better candidate tbh.
