What you need to know:

  • A United Nations situational report said last week some 4.5 million people in the Tigray region are in need of emergency food assistance.
  • The federal government’s military operation in Tigray ended in late November after the federal forces took control of Mekelle ousting the TPLF, the former regional ruling party.

Ethiopia’s Tigray region may be facing a new chapter of starvation and deaths, the aftermath of a conflict that began last November, to crackdown on an erstwhile ruling party.
