This piece I wrote for FFP still hopefully holds water. "Until the better portion of the GERD Reservoir is filled, Ethiopia has limited motivation to make significant negotiation concessions at all and plenty to gain from continuing to defer agreement." https://t.co/SMI5Qfycbe https://t.co/fIv4pjOtX8
FFP's @natehaken shared some critical thoughts on which factors made countries #resilient in response to #COVID19 on today's Preventing and Reducing Conflict and Instability in the US panel hosted by @AfPeacebuilding
Recent article on @openDemocracy references FFP's #FragileStatesIndex while discussing the need for a multifaceted approach to understanding the #ArabSpring @EU_H2020 @ArabBarometer
Looking through a single lens can distort how we view the Arab Spring
Inequality shapes citizens’ views over whether their country has improved and so a deeper dive is needed to understand where the region stands

Biden and Congress must take bold action to prevent violent extremism
