Ethiopia’s long-standing conflicts appear to be easing as rival factions signal a willingness to resolve their disputes, though concerns persist over the risk of a broader regional war escalating. Diplomatic efforts are underway to prevent further violence amid tensions that have already displaced thousands and strained stability in the Horn of Africa.

The shift in rhetoric offers a glimmer of hope, but the path to lasting peace remains uncertain.
Former adversaries say they will settle differences as fears grow of expanding war in Ethiopia.
