Ethiopia is currently engulfed in a war of all against all. It now faces an existential threat to its survival as a “nation of nations.” Most regions in Ethiopia are facing widespread war where at times it is not even known who is fighting against whom, creating complete anarchy. The government has deployed all kinds of federal and regional formal security actors, secretive security actors like Koree Nageenyaa1

chronic conflict have created an existential threat to the country.
