In Ethiopia and Sudan, Isaias's interventionism is in full force, mimicking early years of Eritrean statehood. Far from appearing worn down by a long career, the President seems emboldened by a changed international environment, one he is acutely aware of and openly welcomes...

[Abel Abate Demissie @Abele_a]

Interesting take from the @CrisisGroup👇🏾

“Responsibility for the escalation lies primarily with the TPLF, which launched ground assaults in coordination with other rebels with whom it has joined hands in a new alliance that vows to overthrow Ethiopia’s government”
