Ethiopia: Is There Hope for an End to the Crisis in Tigray?
August 02, 2022 | 10:00 am to 11:00 am | Africa Program
About the Event
For the past two years, fighting between the forces of Ethiopia's Tigray region and the central government has ripped Ethiopia apart. Now, troops from neighboring Eritrea have entered the fight. Is there any hope in the short- and medium-term to end the violence in Ethiopia? Three experienced Africa hands--Aurelia Brazeal and David Shinn, former US ambassadors to Ethiopia, and Amb. Hank Cohen, former assistant secretary of state for African Affairs--join FPRI's Africa Program director Amb. Charles Ray for a discussion of the current state of affairs and the prognosis for a settlement.
