ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) – The first non-governmental aid convoy since fighting started arrived in the capital of Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region on Saturday, as the government ordered businesses to re-open and officials to return to work.
The federal government restricted access to Tigray after fighting began on Nov. 4 between its troops and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a political party that ruled the province. So far the conflict in Africa’s second-most populous nation is believed to have killed thousands of people and displaced around 950,000.
