The Spin


Establishment-critical narrative

The US has tacitly enabled crimes against humanity in Ethiopia, and prospects remain dim that anyone will ever be brought to justice as long as they remain in America's good graces. In an effort to strengthen ties with an ally, the US has cynically propped up this regime. Hopefully, the world will hold federal authorities in Ethiopia to account for their crimes.


Pro-establishment narrative

The Tigray War was a brutal conflict that tore a nation apart, and it's no secret that every side involved has committed war crimes. Instead of pointing fingers at each other now that peace is holding, Ethiopia must implement a credible transitional justice process to help victims and affected communities. Otherwise, the conflict risks reignition.
