The Return of War in Ethiopia and Why it Matters

The 2020 war in Tigray is among the deadliest conflicts of the 21st century. As many as 600,000 civilians were killed, nearly 10 percent of the women in the region were raped, and hundreds of thousands were forcibly displaced in a campaign of ethnic cleansing.

It threatens to become one of the largest humanitarian disasters the world has ever seen.
