Charlotte Touati is a philologist and Ge’ez language translator who has spent many years in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Her research extends to transnational criminality, including illegal mining and human and cultural trafficking, in the Horn of Africa. She has carried out extensive work in support of victims of wartime rape in Tigray.

Through clear and analytically rigorous writing, Touati effectively illustrates the global stakes at play – from human rights abuses and resource politics to emerging shifts in the international monetary order away from US dollar dominance ... Eritrea’s Gold Rush offers an important contribution.
