In this week’s Horn Highlights: Tensions continue to be high in the Horn region. Tensions between the Ethiopian government and the FANO militia in Amhara cause Eritrean refugees to fear they may soon need to flee. Hunger as a cause of drought and lack of aid remains of high concern in the Horn region and the Tigray region in particular; despite an increase in aid to Tigray last week.
The Situation Reports aim to draw attention to information on the situation on the ground, drawing from sources on the ground. Information may need further verification (see disclaimer).
The Situation Report of today (30 May), No. 212, is already available for you here.
