With around 110 million inhabitants, Ethiopia is the second most populated country in Africa and one of the continent's political heavyweights. Although large parts of the population live in poverty, Ethiopia was internationally recognized as a model of hopeful development in Africa thanks to its dynamic economic growth. But today, Ethiopia has increasingly become a factor of insecurity. Wars in Tigray and the Amhara region, serious human rights violations and numerous political conflicts in other parts of the country and with neighbor states are contributing to this situation of instability.
Together with Amir Aman Kiyaro Journalist and Dr. Gerrit Kurtz, researcher at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs Berlin (SWP). we will discuss the latest developments of the conflict and the current political situation in Ethiopia, focusing on the consequences for the population and the press workers. We will take a closer look at the country's perspectives and talk about the possible role of Europe and Germany in its future.
This talk will be held in English, without translation.
