nov 14, 2020 - Tensions in Tigray, Ethiopia Rise
Description:
On November 14, rebellious leaders from Ethiopia’s Tigray area launched missiles at Eritrea's capital of Asmara. The attack marks a significant rise in tensions as the two areas enter their twelfth day of conflict. Another two missiles were launched at an airport. Ethiopia’s Prime Minister launched military forces after a Tigraying attack on federal troops earlier this month.
On Monday 16, Eritrea claimed to have captured another Tigray town. Hundreds of people have died from the conflict, and at least 20,000 refugees have fled to Sudan.
On November 18, Ethiopia issued 76 arrest warrants for army officers accused of being members of the Tigray’s People’s Liberation Front. As the areas continue to clash, Ethiopia’s Prime Minister has said he’s moving in on Tigray.
On November 20, aid agencies stated they were unable to reach civilians and called for a ceasefire in the area to provide necessary aid. (CNN)
