Geopolitical Challenges of Authoritarianism and Urban Development in Ethiopia

The conflict in Ethiopia continues to escalate, particularly in the Tigray region where a significant increase in military tensions is reported as federal forces prepare for potential conflict with Tigray rebels. This situation is compounded by recent devastating floods and landslides that have resulted in over 60 fatalities, further worsening the humanitarian crisis and prompting mass displacements among residents fearing renewed violence.
