While civil war in Ethiopia continues, events in neighboring Sudan have further destabilized the Horn of Africa.
Already embroiled in one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises in modern history, Ethiopia is now positioned in a volatile standoff over a land dispute with Sudan. At the center of it is al-Fashaga, a fertile tract of borderland between the two countries, has remained a point of contention in the Horn of Africa for more than a century. While Ethiopia was distracted by the conflict that erupted in its northern Tigray region last year, Sudan exploited its neighbor’s instability and took control of the region. Since last November, clashes between Khartoum and Addis Ababa have only escalated. While the United States and the international community focus on Sudan’s failed transition to democracy, the Tigray crisis and the impending battle over al-Fashaga cannot be overlooked.
