What’s Happening Inside Ethiopia | Is Ethiopia Heading Towards Crisis | The Blueprint
Description: Ethiopia is facing problems from the inside and now, it might be on the verge of triggering an all-out regional war. While internal conflicts and clashes with ethnic militias continue across northern Ethiopia, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed made a high-stakes geopolitical move, signing a controversial coastline deal with Somaliland to escape the prison of geography.
With over 130 million people, Ethiopia is the world’s most populous landlocked country, spending up to $2 billion annually on port fees via Djibouti. But Ethiopia’s quest for a naval base and sea access in the Gulf of Aden has set off a massive chain reaction. Somalia viewed the deal as a direct violation of its sovereignty and called in Ethiopia’s fiercest rival, Egypt. Now, with Egyptian military cargo planes landing in Mogadishu, heavy artillery deployed on Ethiopia's borders, and long-standing tensions over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) boiling over, the Horn of Africa faces a dangerous military encirclement. Right next to the vital Bab-el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea, a direct clash could shock global trade and supply chains worldwide.
In this episode of The Blueprint, we decode the geopolitical chess match, the river-versus-sea conflict, and why the Horn of Africa is inching closer to open confrontation.
