Every diplomacy story on Vozia, from every region — one page per story, both sides inside, every claim labelled.
Ethiopia inaugurated the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on 9 September 2025, calling it a shared opportunity for the region.

After the latest round of talks, each side published its own account of what was agreed. Read side by side, the two statements agree on a pause in fighting and disagree on almost everything that would make it last. We publish both, and mark what independent observers have actually confirmed.
A year ago the world's two largest economies called a truce in Busan: rare-earth controls delayed, a tariff cut, port fees paused. Both sides signed the same facts — and then described them with different words. This page keeps both descriptions visible.
Egypt and Ethiopia became full BRICS members on 1 January 2024, joining South Africa, while Nigeria holds the lesser partner-country status.
