Ethiopia’s Position Amid Ongoing Conflict

Senior Ethiopian officials Redwan Hussein and Getachew Reda recently published an opinion article that seeks to frame Ethiopia as a victim of external conflict, downplaying the ruling Prosperity Party’s role in the country’s crises. This narrative aims to normalize the government’s aggressive posturing towards Eritrea, despite historical evidence showing that the conflict was rooted in Ethiopia’s internal ethnic divisions. The article also misrepresents the peace talks that concluded the two-year war, ignoring prior communications between the warring factions and Eritrea’s established position on the matter.
