Just a fistful of Westerners is emerged from the colonial misconcept of considering Africa as a whole, while it is a very complex and articulated continent, often difficult to be understood without a knowledge of the countless different African cultures.

However, East Africa is some exhibit: the worst mass murderers and warlords have wealthy sponsors in the Middle East fattening their coffers. Millions of people have no say in what happens, and are at the mercy of decision makers in faraway MENA capitals, chasing geopolitical Ws.

The region has the world's bloodiest ongoing conflict still raging on in Sudan, and reels from the Tigray war, the deadliest conflict of the 21st century that killed half a million people in Ethiopia and ended in 2022.

With both countries becoming proxy battlegrounds for regional powers, a new conflict could engulf Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan.
