The Real #Politics of the #Horn of #Africa: Money, War and the Business of PowerBook by Alex de Waal

$Canada’s PM Minister Mark Carney's powerful speech at Davos: · On the New Global Reality: "Canadians know that our old, comfortable assumption that our geography and alliance memberships automatically conferred prosperity and security is no longer valid." · On Self-Reliance: "A country that cannot feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself." · On Coalition-Building: "This is not naive multilateralism... It is building the coalitions that work, issue by issue, with partners who share enough common ground to act together. Middle powers must act together because if you are not at the table, you are on the menu." · On Strategic Engagement: "We are engaging broadly, strategically, with open eyes. We actively take on the world as it is, not wait for the world as we wish it to be." · On the End of an Era: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger and more just." · On Middle Power Sovereignty: "Great powers can afford to go it alone... Middle powers do not. But when we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness... This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination." · On the Middle Power Choice: "In a world of great power rivalry, the countries in between have a choice: to compete with each other for favour, or to combine to create a third path with impact." · On Canada's Strengths: "Canada has what the world wants. We are an energy superpower. We have the most educated population in the world... We have capital, talent and a government with the immense fiscal capacity to act decisively. And we have the values to which many others aspire." · On Relations with China: "We should have a strategic partnership with them... You need a web of connections." · On NATO and Greenland: "Our commitment to Article 5 is unwavering... I think clearly NATO is experiencing a test right now."$

Happy New Year -2026

In this episode of Understanding and Measuring Research and Education, we break down an important academic works on the Tigray War: “Tigray war: Modern geographies of mass violence and the invisibilization of populations” by Dr. Teklehaymanot G. Weldemichel (2025).

This paper exposes the systematic, deliberate, and multi-layered strategies used to conceal atrocities committed in Tigray between 2020 and 2022 — including communication blackouts, infrastructural warfare, narrative manipulation, ethnic disappearances, UN institutional capture, and the creation of what the author calls “death-worlds,” drawing from Achille Mbembe’s theory of necropolitics.

✊ Why This Matters
The Tigray genocide is not only one of the deadliest conflicts of the 21st century — with up to 800,000 deaths reported during the first two years alone — but also one of the least visible. Understanding the mechanisms of invisibilization is essential for justice, prevention, and global accountability.
