Seeking Consensus in Ethiopia

Speaking of ethnic or tribal conflict, as we did in the previous post, see a Financial Times article about inter-group unrest in Ethiopia. Its leader just won a Nobel Peace Prize for supposedly settling same.

Like the Nobel to President Obama, it appears the prize to PM Abiy Ahmed was premature. His multi-ethnic/multi-faith nation is very much “on the boil” and threatening to positively splinter. This in spite of doing relatively well economically.

Wish Abiy luck, he’ll need it. Hat tip to RealClearWorld for the link.
