Furthermore, the core issues of reconciliation and justice, an inclusive national dialogue, and army and security reform have not yet been seriously addressed. Please join us this Friday for a briefing on the latest developments from the ground, analysis on the Addis agreement and concrete policy recommendations. Geoffrey Duke and Hans Rouw, who are visiting D.C., will update on the current situation, including the factors contributing to these recent events and present ideas to address the immediate challenges as well as long-term efforts to end the cycle of violence. Akshaya Kumar will discuss policy recommendations for the U.S. Government. The U.S has already committed itself to helping to mediate the crisis, but much more can and should be done. *We hope you can join us on Friday.
