NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) – Ethiopia´s government has accused humanitarian aid groups working in its war-hit Tigray region of “arming” Tigray fighters and threatened to halt some groups´ operations there.

The accusations reflect the latest frictions between Ethiopia´s government and aid groups that for months have sought unrestricted access to the largely cut-off Tigray region where hundreds of thousands of people face famine conditions and scores have starved to death.
