Horn of Africa Proxy Wars: Ethiopia, Sudan, and the Red Sea Rivalries

This timeline would trace how the relationship between Ethiopia and Sudan moved from uneasy coexistence to open accusation and potential proxy conflict, set against the wider Horn of Africa’s overlapping wars. It would span the post-2018 political transitions in both countries, the 2020–2022 Tigray war, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam dispute, the Sudan civil war that began in 2023, and the growing involvement of outside powers such as Egypt, the UAE, and Eritrea. The through-line is how local conflicts in Sudan and Ethiopia became arenas for regional rivalry and how border, Nile, and refugee pressures connected them.
