The International Crisis Group posted on 18 May 2021 a 30 minute podcast titled "What's Driving Sudan and Ethiopia Apart?" with Annette Weber, senior fellow with the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.
Weber talks about Sudan's and Ethiopia's diverging views on their border dispute, the ongoing disagreements over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, and the worrying rise of militias in both countries. She also discusses the future of Ethiopia's recent alliance with Eritrea and the unclear fate of regional multilateralism. Finally, she looks at the EU's new strategy towards the region and how US reengagement might affect the European approach.
