A Shift in the Tools of Conflict: From Direct Combat to Logistical Warfare<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Regional actors are no longer relying solely on political statements or diplomatic backing.

Why Ethiopia?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The report clearly indicates that Ethiopia is no longer just a neighboring state to Sudan.
