NAIROBI, April 23, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - More than 50,000 people have been displaced by clashes in a disputed area in northern Ethiopia, the United Nations said, as the international community expressed concern about the violence involving fighters from rival regions.

"The number of people displaced by the armed clashes in Alamata Town, and Raya Alamata, Zata and Ofla... since 13/14 April has reached more than 50,000," the UN said late Monday, citing local authorities in the disputed area which is claimed by Tigray and neighbouring Amhara.
