- Description
- In this episode of The Standard Signal, host Tsedale Lemma speaks with Cameron Hudson, Former U.S. intelligence and State Department Official who spent decades closely following the Horn of Africa, to unpack what he called a “head scratcher” policy shift by Washington.
Why is the United States moving closer to lifting sanctions on Eritrea, despite unresolved accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war in the Tigray region?
As tensions rise across the Red Sea corridor, the conversation explores whether geopolitical calculations are overtaking accountability concerns in the Horn of Africa.
It also examines Eritrea’s growing strategic value, Ethiopia’s push for sea access and its foreign policy miscalculations, the implications of Red Sea insecurity, and the wider regional fallout involving Sudan, Somalia, Gulf states, and global shipping routes.

- How Tigray’s power struggle reignites the need for election
- Date posted
- 10 days ago
- Description
- Tigray is once again at the heart of a renewed political tension after the TPLF decided to reinstate its pre-war regional council, challenging the post-war interim order established under the Pretoria agreement that nullified the 2020 local election and ushered in a federally appointed interim administration.
The recent reappointment of Lt. Gen. Tadesse Werede without TPLF participation has deepened the standoff, with elections emerging as the core unresolved issue, especially as the region risks exclusion from upcoming national polls.
As Semhal Meles noted in this November 2025 podcast – “the international community underwrote a genocide in order to overturn Tigray’s democratic will” - despite the trauma and fear tied to the last local elections, a return to the ballot remains, for many, the only path toward restoring constitutional order and lasting stability.

Two years later, the questions remain.
