Is war between Ethiopia & Eritrea inevitable?: Mehdi Hasan & Getachew Reda

Getachew Reda and Mehdi Hasan debate the conflict over their relationship and Tigray’s justice system.

The Tigray People’s Liberation Front and Ethiopia’s federal government engaged in a brutal civil war in 2022 under the Pretoria Agreement.

The desire for lasting peace and justice has vanished today. Many people are concerned about renewed hostilities as Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government’s relations with the TPLF escalate.

And because of this, the countries are teetering on the brink of war and have deteriorated in relations with neighboring Eritrea, which was a country that supported the TPLF.

Getachew Reda served as Tigray’s interim president and its lead political figure during the civil war.

He joined his former adversary, Abiy, and claimed there was deep-seated corruption within the TPLF leadership after a public disagreement.

Ethiopia’s prime minister’s adviser Getachew Reda confronts Mehdi Hasan in a confrontation about his new alliance with Abiy, and he inquires whether Ethiopia and Eritrea are headed for war.
