Re: U.S Special Envoy Mike Hammer will review progress on peace talks between Ethiopian & Tigrayan authorities
It is good USA has understood the main driver for instability in the Horn Africa is Egypt due to water and other geo-'political issues( the article below discusses that in detail) . The challenge is the USA is not a neutral broker and is more inclined toward supporting Egypt and that complicates it's role.
Abiy's failure to maintain Ethiopian internal peace , his interest to stay in power at any cost and the genocide and war crimes he committed in Tigray shall force him to compromise the strategic interests of Ethiopia and the Ethiopian people have to closely watch on what is going on. Ethiopia is in a perfect condition to be abused and compromised by Egypt, while Isaias waits to be awarded by Egypt for his dirty work in destabilizing Ethiopia.
