What if Addis Ababa falls? | Inside Story

Hundreds of volunteers are being enlisted to join the fight. They're encouraged by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announcing he'll lead the battle against a rebel alliance from the front lines.
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?
