The war with Eritrea…and clashes with Somalia and the Sudan etc
Thankfully this was one aspect of Ethiopia that we did not experience! According to the Foreign Office website, the border areas are all no-go zones so we kept well away.
Whilst I was in Ethiopia I read Peter Moore’s travel novel Swahili for the Broken Hearted. He did go to some of these more dangerous parts of Ethiopia, and strangely experienced student riots in Addis, taking shelter in a Coffin shop during his 2000/2001 trip!
