Abstract

The International Crisis Group CrisisWatch report highlights the intense pressure on opposition groups in Uganda, particularly the National Unity Platform, facing internal divisions and state pressure. Army chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba's rhetoric strained regional ties, leading to diplomatic tensions with Sudan and DR Congo. In Eritrea, Ethiopian state-owned television openly criticized Asmara for the first time since 2018, while Somali President visited Eritrea to discuss regional security. Additionally, authorities in Oromia signed a peace deal with an OLA splinter group, while insurgency in Amhara continued, and power struggles within Tigray region's ruling party deepened.
