Welcome to a new episode of The Geopolitical Puzzle; today, my guest is Professor Michael Woldemariam.

Professor Michael Woldemariam is an associate professor at the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, College Park, and a senior fellow at the Maryland Center for International and Security Studies.

Professor Woldemariam focuses on teaching and research in African security studies, particularly concerning armed conflicts in the Horn of Africa.

In this episode, we discuss the crisis in the Horn of Africa due to the civil war between Ethiopia's government and the Tigray region insurgents and why this region is critical geopolitically speaking.
