OPINION: Now is the moment to prepare for joint international action to prevent further chaos in Ethiopia and to focus diplomacy on a comprehensive settlement for the country

Alex Rondos served until July 2021 as E.U. Special Representative to the Horn of Africa.

The plight of places like South Sudan and Afghanistan after years of U.S.-led support should remind everyone of the limits of any outside nation’s influence. But Addis Ababa is not Juba or Kabul. Two years ago, Ethiopia was one of the emerging economic success stories of sub-Saharan Africa. Which means there’s a chance to turn things around. If we act now.

Dayton was a model of how warring ethnic parties can be brought to the table through intense, coordinated diplomatic efforts on the part of honest brokers. It required steady engagement from the highest levels of the U.S. government including the president, national security adviser, secretary of state and a chief negotiator such as the late Ambassador Richard Holbrooke. The EU and other major powers played critical supporting roles.

Ethiopia’s instability could affect maritime routes through the Red Sea, trigger refugee flows that would dwarf those of the last few years, and disrupt the fragile post-conflict transitions in Sudan and Somalia. Chaos would also be exploited by terrorist groups like al-Shabab and other al Qaeda affiliates that want to extend their grip on the region.

The cycle of vindictiveness, unprecedented in Ethiopia, has led some experienced African leaders to speak in private about echoes of Rwanda before the 1994 genocide. For the center to hold in Ethiopia there must be a deft balancing act of internal regional interests with sensitivities to group grievances. What’s more, a united and stable Ethiopia has always been a provider of stability across the Horn of Africa region.

You couldn't have written a more nonsense piece than this! Every threat mentioned is from the US/EU national interests point of view. Admittedly, u don't really care about the people living in Ethiopia but u do care enough about it so as your regional interests r not disrupted

Keep Dayton accord as far as possible from Ethiopia. It was a disaster 2 Yugoslavia &Europe.Any support given 2TPLFTerroristGroup,which Z authors of this article adhere 2, will not serve the best interest of HOA, Z US & EU.Find some other way 2stop the war. Support Ethiopia.

Such kind biased news are aimed to escalate the destabilization of Ethiopia. As it is well-known the complexity of the problem is increased after the interference of Westerns and America

assessment makes the same fundamental mistakes of SecBlinken and the other Sec of State SamanthaJPower : arrogantly prescribing unworkable and unrealistic solutions. The heart of the matter is: The vast Majority doesn't want to see A HATED 5% MINORITY in power again!

Dark, filled with false information. How many times has TPLF admitted that it started the war last October? The analysis of Ethiopia plunging into ethnic war like Bosnia is not only wrong but a wish from the devil. Ethiopia is neither Bosnia nor South Sudan EthiopiaPrevails

Do you want to prevent further chaos in Ethiopia? US, UN and EU stop sporting TPLFisaTerroristGroup!! Then Ethiopian gov. How to end this war, as he did last time in three weeks only. Indeed!

Wrong framing. Ethiopia is not in a tribal war. It’s caught up in a superpower proxy war. If not for US, EU and UN (abandoning its neutrality vow) dont support TPLF TPLFTerroristGroup, this war wouldn’t have even been started by TPLF, let alone prolonged. HandsoffEthiopia

To all the readers of this pro-regime-change Politico piece, please educate yourselves on the history of TPLF (Tigrayan Peoples Revolutionary Front), which has been classified as a terrorist organization since the 1970s. PM Abiy was democratically elected.

Stop warmongering. The current crisis in Ethiopia would likely be over sooner if there weren't imperialistic interventionists - POTUS, BidenAdministration, UN, SecBlinken, antonioguterres, PowerUSAID - backing terroristic elements inside TPLF. Stop destabilizing the HoA.

Very bad article Some of it's claims are wrong and it's prognoses flawed.
