47] – On Thurs., May 28 from 9:30 AM to 10:45
AM, hear about Tenuous Transitions in Ethiopia and Sudan, hosted by United
States Institute of Peace. See www.usip.org.
The two most populous countries in the Horn of Africa—Ethiopia and Sudan—are
both struggling with once-in-a-generation political transitions. Complicating
these already tenuous transitions is a convergence of worrying trends, such as
widespread food insecurity, severe pressure on public finances, ongoing or
unresolved internal conflicts, large numbers of displaced persons, and now, the
coronavirus pandemic. The fate of the transitions in Ethiopia and Sudan may
determine the broader prospects for peace in the region for years to come.

work, and savings are all at a higher risk of decline than other groups in the
labor market. Join the nation’s top experts on older workers, racism, and
retirement for a discussion on the current state and possible fate of this
often-overlooked subset of the American workforce.
