Horn of Africa on Edge: Diplomats Flee, Massacres in Ethiopia, and Machar Trial Shocks South Sudan

The Horn of Africa is entering one of its most volatile moments in years.

🔴 In South Sudan, Riek Machar’s defense team has accused authorities of disappearing four top military allies — a shocking twist in his ongoing war crimes trial.

🔴 In Ethiopia, 24 Orthodox Christians were brutally massacred in Arsi, Oromia Region — including a toddler and an 86-year-old. Meanwhile, two senior Ethiopian diplomats have sought asylum in the U.S., signaling cracks inside Abiy Ahmed’s government.

🔴 Across the Red Sea, Eritrea’s President Isaias Afwerki meets Egypt’s Abdel Fattah al-Sisi amid growing Ethiopian rhetoric over Red Sea access, while Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces are accused of genocide in North Darfur.

🔴 From Mali’s resource nationalization to Ethiopia’s shifting alliances — Africa’s political landscape is changing fast.

This in-depth regional briefing breaks down the events shaping East Africa’s new power balance — from Juba to Addis and Cairo to Bamako.

Watch till the end for an analysis of what this means for peace, diplomacy, and the region’s future.
