WorldEthiopians flee to Sudan as conflict flares again in Tigray

Tigray in Ethiopia experienced its sharpest escalation since the 2022 Pretoria agreement over the weekend. The Tigray People’s Liberation Front and members of Ethiopia’s government blamed one another for the renewed tensions. A mass departure from the region is under way as residents fear that a wider regional conflict could erupt. Fighting has remained paused since August 1, but anxiety over a new war is driving people toward neighbouring Sudan.
