A season of War in the Horn of Africa: Can another all out war be avoided?

http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/e/0/4/event_111319972.jpegAt the London Conference on Somalia in February, a plan of action was unveiled to find a way out of the conflict in Somalia. But with underlying tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea, and charges that the London conference was little more than a PR exercise to ‘rubber stamp’ a solution designed by international actors, little was achieved. On April 26, the Africa Roundtable will host a panel of distinguished scholars, activists, and academics from the region to explore pathways to peace.
