2 The current Ethiopian conflict can be characterized by the use of intensely bellicose speech that seeks to denounce perceived US support for the TPLF. A contentious discussion point is the humanitarian blockade in Northern Ethiopia. For a report on the bellicose nature of discourse see: S. Allison, S. Gebré and C. Wilmot, ‘Leaked documents reveal how Facebook failed to contain hate speech in Ethiopia’, The Continent, 64, 13 Nov. 2021.
