According to preliminary reports, thousands of Ethiopians died and nearly a million had to leave their homes and flee to neighbouring countries due to a conflict that hit the African country last month.
The Ethiopian government has announced it will pay a 10 million birr ($260,000) reward for information on the whereabouts of fugitive Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) leaders. The news was announced on state-run broadcaster EBC and later confirmed by the government’s crisis task force on Twitter.
