ADDIS ABABA/GENEVA (Reuters) – Ethiopia’s government said on Friday it was returning Eritrean refugees to camps in the northern Tigray region, a move that prompted concerns from the United Nations refugee agency, which does not have access to the camps.

The refugees are being taken from the capital Addis Ababa back to two camps they had fled from during a month of fighting between the military and a rebellious regional force because it is now safe and stable in Tigray, the government said in a statement.
