I joined ICG's Horn of Africa podcast last week to discuss Eritrea-Ethiopia tensions. Includes reflections on the impact of some important regional and extra-regional dynamics: Saudi-UAE rift, Israel-Somaliland recognition deal, and even the Venezuela strikes. www.crisisgroup.org/africa/ethio...

Great discussion on bilateral and regional issues in the Horn as seen through the Ethiopia-Eritrea conflict @mikewoldemariam.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

New essay in Foreign Policy with Abel Abate D. on Eritrea-Ethiopia tensions. It covers the sources of mutual restraint thus far; some of the factors that are eroding this delicate balance; and what can be done to avert another war the Horn of Africa cannot afford. foreignpolicy.com/2025/10/21/e...

My new essay in Current History reflects on transitional crises in Ethiopia and Sudan. It treats these cases as part of the same story- not just because their transitions played out at roughly same time, but because they were burdened by similar problems and proved to be interdependent in key ways.

Tomorrow at 4:30PM at #Dartmouth or online: The Red Sea in Crisis -- Peace & Turmoil in Africa and the Middle East. Susan Stigant, & Michael Woldemariam explore the complex transregional dynamics & their implications on global trade and security and the U.S. interests at stake. zurl.co/lI7CP
