Ethiopians Flee Conflict to Sudan Refugee Camp

Published December 2nd, 2020 - 08:17 GMT

Sudan's Um Raquba refugee camp in Gedaref, eastern the country has received at least 45,000 people who flee Ethiopia's Tigray war.

Since November 4, the government has announced the start of military operations against leaders of Tigray's ruling party in response to its alleged attacks on federal army camps which pushed thousands of people the flee conflict zone.

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed posted a statement to Twitter, on November 28th, saying military operations against leaders of the Tigray People's Liberation Front had "completed and ceased."
