There, I asked Sudan’s military leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, what he made of the instability surging to the country’s east. Might Sudan get drawn into an Ethiopia-Eritrea conflict or them into Sudan’s? “We want nothing to do with Ethiopia’s war and we don’t want them involved in ours,” he told me. The symbols of its rich history: the British colonial-era palace, the national archives, and state museum have been all but erased. Meanwhile, Ethiopia is at risk of losing those same things as its history and identity appear on a collision course.
