The US Institute of Peace published on 15 December 2023 a commentary titled "Taking Ethiopia-Eritrea Tensions Seriously" by Michael Woldemariam, University of Maryland.
In view of rising tension between Addis Ababa and Asmara due to Ethiopia's desire to access the sea, the author urges that all countries with leverage in Ethiopia and/or Eritrea underscore the need for a formal and transparent peace that provides benefits to the peoples of both countries.
