NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) Civilians massacred. Journalists arrested. People starving to death.

That pressure is expected to spike this month as the United States chairs the United Nations Security Council and addresses the first major African crisis of the Biden administration. Millions of dollars in aid to Ethiopia, a key security ally in the region, are at stake.
Here’s a look at the turmoil in Tigray as the Security Council meets behind closed doors on Thursday to discuss it:
