Michael Woldemariam, Associate Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University and Director of the African Studies Center (ASC), appeared on “The Lawfare Podcast” to discuss the civil war in Ethiopia.
Woldemariam joined host Scott Anderson and Professor Hilary Matfess of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver to discuss the origins of Ethiopia’s ongoing civil war, what it’s meant for civilians living there, and how it might shape the country’s future. In his comments, Woldemariam touched on Tigray, a region that has played a prominent role in the evolution of Ethiopia’s modern ethnofederalist state, as well as the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and their influence on Ethiopian politics.
