Examining Sanctions Regime and the Systemic Adversity Applied on Eritrea’s Sovereignty: A Contextual Imperative

The discourses surrounding Eritrea, particularly in mainstream policy and media circles, have too often been stripped of essential context, resulting in a diagnostic failure. To address the symptoms, be it concerns over national service or civil liberties, without a rigorous audi

Erdogan in Addis: sovereignty first as Abiy beats sea-access drum

Abiy Ahmed tried to stage the usual Addis photo-op when Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived. But the camera caught something different: a stiff, guarded prime minister sitting beside a visitor who didn’t look like he came for flattery. What played out at the joint app

A Brief Understanding of South Sudan: Not a Forgotten Conflict but a Neglected One

South Sudan, the world's youngest nation, is teetering on the brink of a devastating return to full-scale war. While international attention is often diverted, the country is experiencing a severe political, humanitarian, and security crisis, fuelled by a collapsing peace deal, v

Trump Letter

Abiy Ahmed’s Strategic Isolation Is Now in Writing

What Addis Ababa has spent two years denying is now staring it in the face—on White House letterhead. The January 16 letter from  Donald Trump  to  Abdel Fattah el-Sisi  isn’t just about mediation. It’s a signal. Clear, deliberate, and consequential. Washington is aligning itself

Sudan at the Crossroads: A Peace Initiative Rooted in Accountability, Not Illusions

Egypt: Cairo Draws Clear Red Lines as Sudan’s War Tightens Its Grip
