THOUSANDS FLEE ETHIOPIA VIOLANCE, SEEK ASYLUM IN SUDAN

  • 23/02/2021

At least 7,000 people who fled escalating ethnic violence in western Ethiopia have sought asylum in neighboring Sudan, amid heightened tensions between the two Eastern African nations. Violence in the Metekel Zone of the Benishangul-Gumuz region is separate from the deadly conflict in Ethiopia's northern  Tigray region. That's where Ethiopian and allied regional forces began fighting Tigray regional forces in early November. The Tigray war sent more than 61,000 Ethiopians into Sudan's provinces of al-Qadarif and Kassala
