AFRICA IN CHAOS: Ethiopia's War Threatens to Engulf the Horn...

Ethiopia's civil conflict, which erupted in 2020 between federal forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front before expanding to other regions, has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. A ceasefire collapsed, and fighting has intensified across multiple fronts involving various armed groups competing for control. The conflict threatens stability across the Horn of Africa because Ethiopia borders Somalia, Kenya, Eritrea, Sudan, and South Sudan—all countries with their own security challenges—and serves as a crucial hub for regional trade and diplomacy.
