How did Al Shabaab manage to get dislodged from 30 towns in under 30 days? Sabotaging food aid during famine may be the group’s biggest unforced error in recent years. Liban Mahamad reports: “Somalia is witnessing a genuine, organic groundswell of rebellion.”

When Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed ordered a military offensive against regional forces in Tigray on on 4 November 2020, he vowed the fighting would be over in weeks. A year on, the conflict has escalated and spread. So why is Ethiopia still at war with itself?

Belgian colonialists in today's Rwanda issued ID cards in 1933, classifying persons as either Hutu or Tutsi by measuring height, nose length and eye shape even as they shared the same language and religion. Result? Frequent ethnic clashes, one in 1994 that cost 800,000 lives.
