Abiy Ahmed’s Isolation Is Self-Inflicted: How a Chain of Short-Term Gambits Backfired

Abiy Ahmed’s Isolation Is Self-Inflicted: How a Chain of Short-Term Gambits Backfired There’s a pattern to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s statecraft: grab for the nearest lever, declare victory, and deal with the blowback later. That cycle—tactical bargains unmoored from strategy—ha

Berhanu Jula’s “Door to the Sea”: Ethiopia’s Dangerous Game With History

It was supposed to be a day of military pride — Ethiopia’s "118th National Defence Forces Day". Flags, parades, speeches about sacrifice. Instead, Field Marshal Berhanu Jula - once held as a prisoner of war in Eritrea - used the occasion to do what Ethiopian generals have done to

Djibouti’s New "Constitutional" Trick: When “Reform” Is Just Another Word for Succession

Djibouti’s National Assembly met this morning to approve what it called a “constitutional revision” — a phrase that, in that country’s political lexicon, usually means one thing:  Ismaïl Omar Guelleh is not done yet . The draft law, numbered  2025-03/ADP , raises the presidential

Ethiopia’s Costly Choice: How Political Arrogance Cut Addis Off From the Red Sea

For years, Ethiopian officials and state-aligned media have repeated a striking claim — that the country spends enormous sums each year on port access through Djibouti because Eritrea allegedly denied it a route to the Red Sea. The narrative, now echoed across speeches and social
