Recently the Ethiopian forces have driven the Islamic Courts out of Mogadishu and established a presence reminicent of that of past occupational forces in Vietnam or Afghanistan. So I came upon this news article through a google search. Apparently the interim government and the Ethiopians are currently trying to disarm the local populace. Though thankfully the people are not willing to give up their protection to an unwanted government and have been protesting and firing shots of their own.
In history their has been times when the government disarmed the people and subsequently tyranny came. Hitler, Mao, and Stalin all had disarmament programs and they brought terror to the native people that tyrants in the ancient of days only dreamed of. Here is an interesting article on the extent of gun control that involved the Armenians. If ever a government official declares to have your gun, point it at him/her.
