Appeared on the Proximities podcast with Barry Malone, to discuss Ethiopia's elections which ended in an unsurprising Abiy Ahmed landslide victory. Discussed the six years of democratic backsliding, the threat of war with neighbouring Eritrea, and the messy geopolitical situation caused by the Riyadh Abu Dhabi fallout. Barry was once the Reuters correspondent in Addis Ababa, and produced the Al Jazeera The Stream episodes on Ethiopia that I've appeared on since 2020. https://youtu.be/RqHUORjvWZs
