In May 2019 Africanews reported that Sudan’s nationwide strike continued while the head of the military council traveled to Ethiopia seeking regional support during the post-Bashir transition.
Protesters wanted civilian rule; the junta wanted recognition and help managing a collapsing economy and street pressure.
Addis Ababa’s role as meeting ground mattered because Abiy Ahmed was already casting Ethiopia as a Horn mediator after peace with Eritrea.
Kept as Horn geopolitics archive, the strike-and-visit wire dates Sudan’s crisis as it spilled into Ethiopian diplomacy.
