The two-year war in northern Ethiopia resulted in approximately 100,200 deaths before an African Union-brokered ceasefire was reached in November 2021, a new report reveals. In comparison, the Ukraine-Russia war that began in February led to 81,500 deaths, the same source added.

when the Ukraine war started they weren’t bringing up Yugoslavia as a recent European conflict, they were talking about WWII

I find some anglophone westerners who aren't old enough to remember it for themselves don't seem to even know about the Balkan conflicts. It's kind of disturbing how quickly our cultures forget.
