Cowards they're literally scared shitless they get paid to hide in their bases and they still don't feel safe hopefully by 2020 these fucks leave our country

I remember when they first came to Xamar people liked them alot unlike the Ethiopians they acted well and better than the ethiopians. wlhi they came when Ethiopians were having a hard time moving from a village to another village. Ugandans are cowards but Burundian Soldiers are more braver and can hold their bases for hours. It all changed in 2009-2010 when the fucker Xasan Dahir Aweys declared Jihad.

Au soldiers when they go back to their countries
