For two years, Ethiopia has been at war with itself. Fighting there has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions more in Africa’s second-most-populous country, a scale of conflict that some have compared to that in Ukraine.
But a surprise cease-fire aims to pause the violence, and one side said it had
pulled back nearly two-thirds of its troops
from the frontlines in recent weeks. I spoke to Abdi Latif Dahir, the East Africa correspondent for The Times, who has reported on the war, about what the peace deal means for Ethiopia.
