What if Addis Ababa falls? | Inside Story

Ethiopia's year-long conflict in the north is threatening to engulf its 115 million people in a civil war.

International and regional leaders are calling for a ceasefire to allow a political solution.

But even with thousands of people killed by the conflict, both sides are beating the drums of war.

What would a full-blown conflict mean for the future of Ethiopia?
