ETHIOPIA: THE STATE OF TERROR AND WAR IN THE HORN OF AFRICA

Asafa Jalata, University of Tennessee - Knoxville

Abstract

My discussion focuses on two central issues. First, I will demonstrate how global connections, war, and terrorism have been used as the main political tools in creating and maintaining the Abyssinian/Ethiopian state. Second, I will assert how there cannot be peace, democracy, stability, and development in the Horn of Africa without removing the Tigrayan-led minority Ethiopian government that intensifies terrorism, external dependency, and war in the Horn of Africa.
