The Risk of a New Ethiopian-Eritrean War Is Growing Changing dynamics in Tigray could erode the current balance of uncertainty.

New essay in Foreign Policy with Abel Abate D. on Eritrea-Ethiopia tensions. It covers the sources of mutual restraint thus far; some of the factors that are eroding this delicate balance; and what can be done to avert another war the Horn of Africa cannot afford.

My new essay in Current History reflects on transitional crises in Ethiopia and Sudan. It treats these cases as part of the same story- not just because their transitions played out at roughly same time, but because they were burdened by similar problems and proved to be interdependent in key ways.

Tomorrow at 4:30PM at #Dartmouth or online: The Red Sea in Crisis -- Peace & Turmoil in Africa and the Middle East. Susan Stigant, & Michael Woldemariam explore the complex transregional dynamics & their implications on global trade and security and the U.S. interests at stake.
