"If Western powers have legitimate concerns about regional stability they should not rush to judgement on the Tigray conflict. ... they should make efforts to engage with the democratic federal Ethiopian state. This offers the best chance for the Horn of Africa to prosper."
"Failure to do this could see a resurgence of instability, which may not exclude Al-Shabaab-led incursions and the rise of new demagogues across the region."
"If the US wants to partner with Addis, it should help de-escalate the conflict – in the media and on the ground. It should use its influence over all parties and partner with the AU to help broker a fair and reproducible solution to the water crisis with Egypt and Sudan."
