Abstract
Since November 2020, Ethiopia’s government has been fighting a civil war against forces loyal to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, based in the northern Tigray region along the country’s border with Eritrea. The government, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, has failed to stop a Tigrayan advance towards the capital and there is a risk that it will collapse. Foreign diplomats have been pushing for a negotiated ceasefire, but the chances of this happening are slim because both sides have imposed unworkable preconditions.
