The Impact of Ethiopia's Peace Agreement for the Horn of Africa

Описание: After two years of civil war between the #Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Ethiopian government and with the support from (its unlikely ally) Eritrea, a peace agreement was signed in November 2022. However, the future of Ethiopia remains uncertain. Several key challenges remain including #Eritrea’s involvement in the war, #TPLF disarmament, and keeping Ethiopian peace and unity. More importantly, war crimes, security force abuses, and deadly ethnic violence have been committed on both sides, deeply affecting civilians. How will #Ethiopia and international institutions address these hurdles? How has the #war in general affected the politics, governance, and security in the #GreaterHornofAfrica region? Join our panelists Alan Boswell, director of the #HornofAfrica Project at the International Crisis Group, and Michael Woldemariam, professor in the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, College Park, and a Senior Fellow at the Center for International & Security Studies at Maryland, to learn more about the peace agreement and its potential consequences.
