#19febbraio 1937. #AddisAbeba, Etiopia. È mattina. Due uomini della resistenza etiope, Abraham Deboch e Mogus Asghedom, durante una celebrazione, tentano di uccidere la massima autorità in città: il viceré, l’italianissimo Rodolfo Graziani.
Facciamo un passo indietro: è il 9 maggio 1936. Il capo del governo italiano, Benito Mussolini, è a Palazzo Venezia. Parla alla folla, parla agli Italiani. C’è una guerra in corso, in Etiopia, la sta combattendo il generale Badoglio.
Quel giorno, però, anche se la guerra non è finita, perché la resistenza degli Etiopi è più forte del previsto, Mussolini proclama l’Impero. Vittorio Emanuele III diventa imperatore.
Badoglio, ansioso di tornare in patria, lascia sul posto il generale Graziani. Diventa viceré.

The deadly conflict between Ethiopia and its northern region of Tigray spilled over the border Tuesday as several thousand people fled to Sudan, along with soldiers seeking refuge,
while the regional leader of Tigray accused Eritrea of attacking at the request of the federal government of Ethiopia. In the meantime, the United Nations and its allies in Sudan are planning, at least initially, to receive 20,000 refugees.
So far, hundreds of people on both sides of the conflict have been confirmed killed, one diplomat in the capital, Addis Ababa, said. It was still hard to verify either side 's claims. For sparking the fight, each blames the other.

#Eritrea Ogni mese centinaia di giovani continuano a lasciare il paese. Nonostante la pace con l'#Ethiopia, la frontiera resta chiusa e la fuga continua. Sono circa 170.000 gli eritrei registrati con @UNHCREthiopia.

#AddisAbeba Nel sobborgo di Mebrat Hail, sono numerosi gli Eritrei arrivati negli ultimi mesi, la maggior parte raggiunge la città dopo una sosta nei campi rifugiati nel Tigray, dove vivono +70.0000 persone. Altri non sono registrati con @UNHCREthiopia e arrivano in autonomia.
In #Ethiopia c'è molta incertezza. Nel 2018, 1milione di persone sono fuggite dalle loro case e le tensioni comunitarie diffuse in diverse aree del paese continuano. Difficile transizione per la democrazia multipartitica e paura per assicurare la stabilità nel Corno D’Africa.
