“The problem began with the British” a fact most of the world can claim.

This is the type of content that economist should focus on. Different from what everyone covers to differentiate from the same news.

I am Ethiopian so I know what’s going on. I thought journalism is dead, I think you guys did great. Telling the truth at least in this instance, that’s how it was supposed to be.

As a person from that region, well done the economist and the producers . In this short reporting people can understand the Ethiopian conflict, Sudan ethiopia border and the nile dame dispute in less than 9min reporting.

"You represent a new generation of African leaders" and then starts a civil war. Best Nobel Peace prize eva!!!

FINALLY SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT THIS. AND NOT ONLY ABOUT 🇺🇦

As all border conflicts starts with the British

Ethiopia doesn't need any foreign approval for the use of her resources to develop and benefit the country! RESPECT!

Thank you for the balanced reporting.

Thank you for reporting the truth
-
very interesting and well done
-
The biggest problem is coming from the Egyptian & Sudan’s military who wants to use the border issue to divert local political questions. Beside that people of Sudan & Ethiopia are capable of solving this problem.
-
How can Ethiopia agree that Al Fashga is Sudanese and then come back and say the Sudanese army occupied it? It is the mission of the army to secure borders.

Thank you for unbiased and clear report!
-
Well done! This is balanced analysis! 🇪🇹 prevail
-
Correction here! The so called 2008 agreement you are referring to is not between Ethiopia and Sudan but rather backdoor agreement between TPLF and Sudan. I would say Ethiopia has lots of cards to play here once it sorted out its internal conflicts.

Very informative!

We have to separate the military coup in Sudan from the Sudanese public. If the coup leans towards Egypt it doesn't mean the Sudanese public leans towards Egypt.
