The Potential Impacts of the Stability/Instability of the Tigray Region and the Whole of Ethiopia on the Wider East and Horn of Africa

Abstract

Ethiopia, the second most populous country in Africa and one of the fastest growing economies in the region, is at a critical situation now due to the destabilising internal and external conflicts. If the situation is not addressed quickly and fairly by all the concerned parties, it has the potential to destabilise the fragile peace and development in the neighbouring countries and beyond. It is imperative, therefore, for influential local/regional/international power players to play their own parts timely and constructively to stabilise Ethiopia.
