When Abiy Ahmed decided not to hold the national election in 2020, the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF) decided to hold their own. The Prosperity Party (PP) refuses to recognize the TPLF, and in November 2020, Ethiopia's armed forced invaded Tigray. The dispute was only meant to last a matter of weeks, yet this passing month has marked the war's 1 year anniversary. The war in Ethiopia is intensifying. Tigray is now pushing for independence, and is forming coalitions with various ethnic groups. If they were to succeed, it could mean an economic collapse and overall destruction for the region.
On this week's episode, Tigrayan activist, Teklehaymanot G. Weldemichel, joins us. He shares stories from his lived experiences, provides his opinion regarding the current affairs, and finally urges the international community to join in and show their support for Tigrayans.

**DISCLAIMER- In the podcast introduction, I said that Abiy Ahmed's political party was the Ethiopian People's Democratic Revolutionary Front (EPDRF) however that is incorrect. That was dissolved and replaced by the Prosperity Party
