More than 40,000 Ethiopian refugees are now in the bordering country Sudan groping with lack of living conditions, such as shelter, food and inadequate healthcare facilities.

Despite its lack of resources and limited facilities to build shelter homes, people of Sudan are extending the right type of hospitality to the poorer brethrens coming from across the border. Whatever limited facilities that they could offer, they are doing despite the language barrier. Many of them have permitted the migrants  to stay within their houses sharing limited food and other materials.

Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region is witnessing a bloody fighting since November 4, as result of military operations by Ethiopia allegedly due to attack on the federal military operations, causing several hundred deaths. After almost three weeks of stiff fighting, a large number of casualties and  multitudes of people fleeing Ethiopia to safer places in Sudan, the fight is far from over.

The UN Security Council held its first meeting on Tuesday (yesterday) on the war in Tigray, at the request of South Africa, Niger, Tunisia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The meeting  held in camera, it is reported that   Abiy justified sending the army to Tigray by accusing the TPLF of attacking two federal army bases in the region, which the Tigrayan authorities deny.
