When Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed came to power in 2018, a new hope for peace and prosperity in the country was on the horizon. Yet, this hope was short-lived. Tigray's leaders saw the Prime Minister’s reforms as an attempt to centralise power and destroy Ethiopia's federal system. The feud came to a head in September, when Tigray defied the central government to hold its own regional election. Since November 2020, fighting and ethnopolitical tensions continue to be the status quo in Africa’s second most populous country, posing threats to the stability of the Horn of Africa.

In today’s episode of The Global Review, we look forward to analysing the war through three key focus points: The cracks in Ethiopia’s governance that ultimately led to its Civil War, Prime Minister Abiy’s agenda and motivations behind the War; and the future of the nation. Today we’re exploring the roles of governance, propaganda and the injustices that arise from them; as well as in the bigger picture, the importance of digital literacy for autonomy.

As of the 24th of February, 2024, the full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine has entered its third year. What started out as an ambitious Blitz-krieg, with Vladimir Putin expecting to take Kyiv within just 3 days, has evolved into an exhausting stalemate for both sides across a roughly 1,000 kilometre long front-line. The human impact of the war is not to be underestimated. The UNHCR, for instance, estimates over 6 million Ukrainian refugees across Europe, though the figures of internally displaced people remain of equal concern.

In today’s episode of The Global Review, we look forward to analysing the war through three key focus points: The Russian and Ukrainian strategies, the role of the International and finally, the future of the conflict. Join us as we delve into the roles of the leaders, military and public morale along the front, the international blocs, and the wider geopolitical consequences of this monumental war for bodies such as the EU and NATO.
