Sad to see a slide back to war in northern Ethiopia. This is a moment that calls for calmer heads to avoid a descent into full-blown conflict — and for urgent diplomacy to chart a way forward.

🔥With wars raging in Somalia, Sudan & Yemen, not to mention those beyond, a major new conflict in Ethiopia is a nightmare scenario. The humanitarian consequences are potentially horrific and there’s a non-trivial risk that other countries get dragged in.

Is #Ethiopia heading towards another war in #Tigray?

On the latest podcast episode, I speak with @PaytonKnopf, involved in the diplomacy around the 2022 Pretoria accord, about how that deal frayed and the dangers of the current standoff.
