Nuestra lectura
Few leaders have moved a scorecard in both directions this fast: the 2018–19 opening, then a war whose human cost swallowed it. The deltas net out; the history does not.

El ascenso
Antiguo oficial de inteligencia, Abiy llegó a primer ministro en 2018 prometiendo reformas de gran alcance.
Lo que hicieron
He freed political prisoners, liberalized the economy, welcomed home exiles, and signed a peace deal with Eritrea that won him the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.
El cuadro completo
Within a year, civil war erupted in Tigray (2020–2022), bringing mass atrocities, famine, and hundreds of thousands of deaths — a devastating reversal of his peacemaker image.
Por qué importa
Abiy's arc is a sobering study in how quickly reformist promise can collide with the brutal realities of holding a fractured state together.
“Peace is a labour of love. Sustaining peace is hard work.”
