In this episode of The Horn, Alan is joined by Michael Woldemariam, associate professor at the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy, to discuss the landscape in Ethiopia one year after the peace deal in Tigray. They explore how relations between Addis Ababa and Tigrayan leaders have evolved since the signing of a peace deal in Pretoria last year and the many challenges Tigray still faces today. They discuss how Abiy's wartime alliance with Eritrea and the Amhara elite broke down, leading to a new war in the Amhara region and rising tensions with Ethiopia. They also look at whether Addis Ababa's recent bid for access to the Red Sea could raise the risks of a regional escalation.For more in-depth analysis of the topics discussed in this episode, check out our briefing Ethiopia's Ominous New War in Amhara and our Ethiopia country page.

Today we're bringing you a bonus episode on Ethiopia and Eritrea from Crisis Group's The Horn podcast.The contemporary rivalry between Eritrea and Tigray goes back several decades. After an almost-17-year-long civil war starting in the mid-1970s, the Eritrean EPLF and Tigrayan TPLF jointly defeated Ethiopia's Derg regime in 1991, resulting in Eritrea's independence and the TPLF taking power in Ethiopia. Despite their joint achievement, their already-complicated relations soon started to sour. A growing power struggle, as well as unresolved territorial disputes between the two sides, led to a deadly border war lasting from 1998 to 2000. Meanwhile, an increasingly repressive Eritrean regime found itself regionally and globally isolated. A new administration in Ethiopia under Abiy Ahmed signed a peace agreement with Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki in 2018, formally ending the border war. However, this rapprochement between Addis Ababa and Asmara also appeared to pave the way for Ethiopia's civil war, with Eritrea allying with Ethiopia's federal government in the war against Tigrayan forces in northern Ethiopia that started in 2020.In this episode of The Horn, Alan is joined by Michael Woldemariam, associate professor at the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy, to take a deep dive into the long and tumultuous relationship between Eritrea and Tigray to understand Eritrea's motives and objectives in the Ethiopian conflict. They talk about the origins of the relations between the EPLF and the TPLF and their shared struggle against Ethiopia's Derg regime from the 1970s to 1991. They unpack how relations between the two sides soured in a struggle for power and authority, culminating in the deadly border clashes starting in 1998. They also discuss how Eritrean President Afwerki's motivations in the conflict in northern Ethiopia have shifted over time. Finally, they talk about how to navigate Eritrea's role while trying to end the conflict in Tigray. Please note that this episode was recorded before the 2 November truce agreement between Ethiopia's federal government and Tigray's leaders.For more in-depth analysis on Ethiopia and Eritrea, make sure to check out our Horn of Africa regional page.

The analysis also demonstrated an association of the same blood groups with early venous thromboembolism, a key driver of early stroke.   https://www.jbc.org/article/S0021-9258(21)00552-4/fulltext#%20   #abogrups #stroke #thromboembolism

Dr. Mona Mittal sees her interest in trauma and human suffering as the result of  her upbringing. Having grown up in India, Dr. Mittal admits that despite its immense beauty, suffering was never far out of sight.  While pursuing her master's in social work, she interned at a special unit within the police department that worked with women and children. It was both the hardships and human resilience she witnessed that led Dr. Mittal to pursue further study and get her PhD.  On this week's episode of TraumaTies, brought to life by the https://www.nvrdc.org/ (Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC)) and hosted by Bridgette Stumpf and Lindsey Silverberg, Dr. Mittal discusses her journey to clinical research and teaching at University of Maryland's School of Public Health, as well as the incredible work she does now with individuals and couples experiencing interpersonal violence. Featured GuestName: https://sph.umd.edu/people/mona-mittal (Dr. Mona Mittal) What she does: Dr. Mittal is a clinical researcher and associate professor of Family Science at the University of Maryland School of Public Health. Her research focuses on individuals and couples who have experienced interpersonal violence, using a trauma informed lens to look at the mental, sexual, and reproductive health of survivors. As a professor, she teaches classes on trauma, addictions, family crises, and more.  Company: https://sph.umd.edu/ (University of Maryland's School of Public Health) Words of wisdom: “People are so strong, and with a little bit of help, they can really rebound and grow tremendously.” Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mona-mittal-a4925814/ (LinkedIn)  Episode Highlights [07:16] Trauma-informed classrooms: Dr. Mittal discusses how, historically, K-12 classrooms get more focus on trauma-informed understanding, but this should extend to collegiate students, of whom more than half report having experienced a trauma in their lives, impacting alcohol and drug use, mental health, and academic performance.   [13:02] Academic issues: A continuation of her call for trauma-informed higher education classrooms, Dr. Mittal addresses the traumatizing reality of academia itself. [23:24] Creating the right space: In creating a trauma-informed higher education classroom, Dr. Mittal believes it needs to start with the faculty, staff, and university systems talking about the prevalence of trauma and adapting https://www.samhsa.gov/ (SAMHSA's Concept of Trauma and Guidance for a Trauma-Informed Approach). [28:49] The power of one: Studies show that it takes just one person reaching out and expressing care and concern for another person to have a great impact. People shouldn't minimize their own power in making a difference.  [30:00] Free materials: Dr. Mittal offers some other resources for professionals to use when trying to implement more trauma-informed understanding in their work: https://istss.org/home (International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS)) and https://www.nctsn.org/ (National Child Traumatic Stress Network.)  Connect with the Network for Victim Recovery of DC☑️ Follow us on https://twitter.com/NVRDC (Twitter), https://www.facebook.com/NetworkforVictimRecoveryDC/ (Facebook), http://www.instagram.com/nvrdc (Instagram) & https://www.linkedin.com/company/nvrdc/ (LinkedIn). ☑️ Subscribe to TraumaTies on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/traumaties/id1612126516 (Apple Podcasts), https://open.spotify.com/show/5PbJbBq6IIiDvA2DLPy79R?si=48ea896c4d324fde (Spotify), or https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmF1bWF0aWVzLmNhcHRpdmF0ZS5mbS9yc3NmZWVk (Google Podcasts).

Tonight's special guest is Darryl Smith from Dunedin, New Zealand, a survivor, advocate and author. He's a longtime NAASCA family member and our NAASCSA Ambassador to New Zealand. He's the author of many books appearing on Amazon. These range from autobiographical works to studies of any number of social issues. 'A Shattered Life' is a true story," Darryl says, "of a battle of a Survivor of child sexual abuse under the hands of the Roman Catholic Church, Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God and the New Zealand and the Queensland Government state system. in 1971 when I was 7 years old and again in 1975 when I was 15 years old. A man who was in both faith-based and state care wants the public to wake up to historical abuse and be concerned that it could still be happening. Darryl Smith, 57, first went into care at the age of seven at Maryland's School in Christchurch, which was run by the Catholic St John of God order. He later went into state care. Smith said countries are judged on how well they treat their children and New Zealand fails in this. "I believe it is up to a village to raise a child and if you see something going wrong with a child, you are supposed to go, 'what is wrong?' 'You are supposed to protect a child, not go, 'I'm not Catholic and it's not my problem.' That's the attitude in this country and it needs to change, because the minute you say it's not your problem, you are the problem,'' he said. "Survivors do not just want lip-service."

FLG_S2_E19 www.forleadersglobal.com    David Wheatley on the discipline of asking quality questions   Are you the hero or are you the guide? People may think leadership and management is earned by purely having more life experience or more stories to share. However, experience and stories do not translate directly into healthy leadership and management practices. David Wheatley communicates on the power of using quality questioning to be able to be a helpful guide for others, instead of being the hero.   On this episode, you'll hear about how and when to use quality questioning, and what type of questions could be helpful for progress. If you or your team is stuck, or if you've realised your good desires might be getting in the way of your growth, the framework that David offers could be key in helping challenge and reframe the next step to take. This show is for those wanting to actually develop and build a new discipline of quality questioning. Some of the positive outcomes of practising this skill range from being able to pinpoint issues and challenges while preventing the turmoil of staff turnover, to being a genuinely considerate and helpful listener while drawing out the best in yourself and others.   ABOUT DAVID WHEATLEY: https://humanergy.com/   David works with leaders who are engaged in transitions to new roles, new scope or improved results.

A small piece of cloth continues to spark big debate in the U.S. Some Americans believe mandates to wear a mask infringe on their personal freedoms. Turns out, this has happened before. Marian Moser Jones, formerly of the University of Maryland's School of Public Health, tells us about the ‘anti-mask league of 1918.' Jones admits that today's mask-wearing mandates can feel inconvenient, but says we can learn from the Spanish Flu pandemic: “The flu tells us, and the response to the flu tells us, that the more restrictions you have for longer periods of time, the lesser the mortality and the morbidity is going to be.”  Plus, how did that deadly flu play out in Baltimore?
