In Ethiopia, forces from the country’s northern Tigray region fired missiles at Eritrea’s capital Asmara Saturday, marking a major new escalation in the conflict which erupted when Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed launched a military offensive in Tigray earlier this month. Meanwhile, the U.N. is warning of a growing humanitarian crisis as at least 25,000 people have already fled the Tigray region into neighboring Sudan. This is an Ethiopian refugee speaking from the Sudanese border town of Hamdayat.
Abrhit: “There is no food. There is looting. We lost our belongings. I lost my siblings. We came to Sudan on foot. And my children are not eating.”
