2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣ has so far been a turbulent year for #peacemaking and #peacemediation. A 🧵 to capture some trends & themes, drawing on work of colleagues @CrisisGroup
1/#Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine has major repercussions on #peacemaking: undermines basic norms, increases polarization, poses “the gravest threat to international peace and security in decades”, as @CrisisGroup president & CEO @EroComfort wrote crisisgroup.org/global/watch-l…
2/@atwoodr #HoldYourFire podcast captures the global fallout of the war in Ukraine, including on peace talks crisisgroup.org/hold-your-fire…
After a lengthy period of relative quiet @wdavison10 has popped up in a new and truly terrible #HoldYourFire podcast on the conflict in Northern Ethiopia hosted the usually insightful @atwoodr, one which reflects very poorly on @CrisisGroup.
The podcast comes just 2 days after TPLF conducted an online campaign against @CrisisGroup’s @Meron_El issuing an open letter to raise their grievances.
Whilst we can’t necessarily connect these two events, the podcast is not up to @atwoodr’s usual standards and is a bit loose and stream of consciousness at times.
It’s also incendiary in the context of current domestic politics in Ethiopia. An odd approach to peace building.
