Prospects for a ‘Great African War’

[Deeq A.]

Prospects for a grand armed confrontation in Africa may be imminent because of two erupting fault lines in Ethiopia: (i) its nascent civil war, and (ii) the Nile River dispute. The first fault line represents a conflict that combines, both, ethnic and ideological disputes that can turn Ethiopia into Africa’s Yugoslavia. The second fault line encompasses a wider regional conflict, with global implications, that pits Egypt and Sudan against Ethiopia over the dam its building on the Nile.
