Host Emmanuel Yirdaw talks to Adem Kassie Abebe, a constitutional expert at the International  Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance and a regular commentator on Ethiopian politics.

The conversation, which was recorded on 3 December, is structured around some of the ideas Adem presented in his 12 November article for Foreign Policy entitled A Blueprint for Peace in Ethiopia.
 
The discussion touches on the debate around humanitarian access to Tigray, how to deal with Amhara region's takeover of territory that used to be administered as part of Tigray, achieving mutual recognition between the federal and Tigray governments, and a number of other related issues.
