Ethiopia's Nobel Peace Prize Winner Plunges Nation into War: What Went Wrong?

Ethiopia, once hailed for its progress under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, has descended into one of the deadliest wars of the 21st century. The conflict began in the northern region of Tigray and has since spread to other parts of the country. Ethiopia's history of ethnic and political divisions, as well as economic challenges, contributed to the violence. Abiy Ahmed's efforts to centralize power and build a single Ethiopian identity led to a war against the Tigrayans, resulting in widespread atrocities. The situation remains complex, with ongoing violence targeting other ethnic groups and peace remaining elusive.
