Conflict in Ethiopia Dividing Diaspora Communities Abroad

Marthe van der Wolf

   LONDON - The conflict in Ethiopia is sparking a lot of discussion among
   the country's diaspora, and those who share their views online have
   noticed they often get strong pushback from people who hold opposing
   opinions. In some cases, the division is ruining friendships.

   When the fighting started between the Ethiopian army and forces in the
   northern Ethiopian region of Tigray, London-based Melat Tesfay was
   worried for her family, stuck in Tigray. She started sharing her
   opinion about the conflict on her social media accounts.
