Abstract

Ethiopia as a country has a history of internal conflict. This is partly due to the form
of government that exists in the country. The country has a history of civil war in
1974, and the Tigrayan conflict is another conflict that hinders the country’s stability
and disturbs its peace. Ethiopia is facing an internal conflict between the authorities
and the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front. The conflict is ethnically motivated.
Civilians are suffering because of the decisions of the authorities and the geography
of the country. Ethiopia is also facing a humanitarian crisis caused by a cyclical
weather phenomenon called ‚El Niño’. The periodic droughts it brings are taking
their toll on all African countries.
