Just think logically: what other outcome was expected? In their entire history, MJs have never been specialists in war. When you think of the typical MJ, do you imagine a fierce warrior? MJs are smart, conniving, incredibly manipulative, along with many other good qualities, but they just aren't built for direct war. They historically have always had others to fight their battles and wars for them. Now, unfortunately for them, they have managed to turn everyone against them over the years and will have no one to help them in their upcoming battles and are surrounded on all fronts by bitter enemies. I like to think Puntland is still projected to be a bantu nation by 2040, but now it might end up in Mooryan hands before then. It's a tug-of-war going on between the burgeoning bantus and the savage Mooryans for Puntland.
Inb4 Idol and her Puntland should secede rant. If you can't even effectively deal with a sub-sub of the Mooryans, the Amxar would absolutely slaughter you entirely and officially annex that land. It seems you guys actually need a more than it needs you. You aren't ready for secession like the grownups Somaliland and Jubbaland, who could handle themselves accordingly against an Amxhar invasion. The L taken in this battle is a case in point.
