Ethiopia's Tigray crisis: Fleeing for fear of new ethnic violence

The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ has heard fresh accounts of ethnic conflict in Tigray, in northern Ethiopia. Tigrayan forces are continuing to extend their control over the region, prompting the Ethiopian government to abandon a unilateral ceasefire, declared after its forces suffered a major defeat.

More fighting is now expected in the west of Tigray, an area close to the border with Sudan. Andrew Harding is our Africa correspondent.
