Podcast: William Davison – Development, division, and devastation

In this third episode of Bridge the Divide, host Emmanuel Yirdaw had a long chat with William Davison, the founder of Ethiopia Insight and the Ethiopia Senior Analyst for the International Crisis Group.

We discussed not just the current situation but also William’s work in Ethiopia over the last decade, the divisions, polarisation and propaganda, and his reflections on the pros and cons of the EPRDF system, and its disastrous breakdown.

The podcast is also available on most major podcast apps such as Spotify, Stitcher, and Apple Podcasts.
