DECEMBER 20, 2020  ETHIOPIANEWS

The UNHCR camps at Adi Harush and Mai Ayni are still insecure, with no police, guards or soldiers protecting them.  No humanitarian NGOs are currently present either.
Soap and other sanitary items are lacking.
There are no medical supplies or support. Malaria has become a serious problem at both camps, with no treatment available.
The camp residents are charged by a local mill to grind it, but they report that they have no money to pay for the service.
Many of the refugees are feeling in great distress.
The situation in the refugee camps at Shimelba and Hitsats is still unknown.
Adi Harush is estimated to house about 14,000 people now, but that number cannot be confirmed under current conditions. It housed over 32,000 refugees at the end of October.

DECEMBER 18, 20202

Internal conflict in Ethiopia has driven more than 50,000 refugees into Sudan in just over a month, triggering a complex aid operation in an impoverished region of Sudan.

And fears of unrest in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region spilling into Sudan were fuelled when several Sudanese soldiers were killed on Tuesday, in what Khartoum called an “ambush” by Ethiopian forces and militias inside its borders.

Ethiopian officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the incident.

Sudan has boosted its military presence near its eastern frontier since the conflict between Ethiopian federal forces and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) started on Nov. 4.

But forces from Ethiopia’s Amhara ethnic group, which back the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, have also expanded their activity, leading to other incidents in long-disputed farmlands near the border where refugees have been crossing, Sudan’s information minister Faisal Salih told Reuters.

“The tensions increased and some skirmishes took place recently,” he said.

Amhara farmers claim rights to lands in the al-Fashqa plain also claimed by Sudan, and clashes sometimes flare during planting and harvest seasons.

Tigrayan refugees now hosted in eastern Sudan hold Amhara forces responsible for much of the violence they fled since early November.

Prompted by security concerns, Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok flew to Ethiopia on Sunday with what senior Sudanese officials said was a proposal to mediate.

Ethiopia, which declared victory over the TPLF on Nov. 29, said the offer was unnecessary. The TPLF has said it was continuing to fight.

Accounts are difficult to verify because most communications to the region have been down throughout the conflict.

Hamdok and Abiy agreed to revive a commission to settle their border dispute, which dates back to colonial times, and made progress over stalled three-way talks with Egypt on a giant hydropower dam Ethiopia has built on the Blue Nile, said Salih.

A diplomatic source in Sudan said Ethiopia’s ambassador had been summoned over the troop deaths on Tuesday, but Abiy struck a conciliatory tone, tweeting: “Such incidents will not break the bond (between) our two countries as we always use dialogue to resolve issues.”

VOLATILE REGION

Some people in Sudan are concerned that the fighting in Tigray, in which regional diplomats and humanitarian aid workers believe thousands of people have died, poses a threat to a volatile region.

The United Nations estimates that 950,000 people have been displaced by the crisis .

“The conflict area in Ethiopia is a border area, and it’s close to Sudan, Eritrea, and South Sudan. It can impact the whole region, and the Red Sea region,” said Mervat Hamadelnil, head of a Sudanese civil society initiative that has pushed for Sudan to take an active stance on the Tigray war.

Some also worry about the strain that refugee arrivals are placing on Sudan, which is trying to recover from decades of its own internal conflicts that displaced several million people.

An economic crisis has deepened since the overthrow of former president Omar al-Bashir in April 2019, causing fuel and bread shortages and pushing inflation to more than 250%.

When the first refugees arrived last month, local communities in eastern Sudan welcomed them, residents and officials say.

But the influx has also pushed up the prices of basic goods, and aid agencies are struggling to source food, water and healthcare for refugees.

Sudan’s government has told many civil servants to work from home following a rise in coronavirus cases, complicating logistical operations. The head of Sudan’s refugee commission died from COVID-19 earlier this month.

One pressure point is that Sudanese authorities, supported by the United Nations, are keen to move refugees quickly away from the border to camps, partly for fear that Tigrayan forces could use Sudan as a rear base, said a staff member of an aid organisation working in the area.

Some refugees are reluctant, hoping to return to Ethiopia to recover relatives, possessions and crops.

Three decades ago, Sudan backed Tigrayan forces that toppled Ethiopia’s Marxist Derg rulers in a conflict that sent previous waves of refugees fleeing west over the border.

Sudan’s transitional authorities, grateful for Ethiopia’s mediation between the Sudanese military and civilian groups after Bashir’s overthrow last year, now have no interest in playing a similar role against an Abiy government with international standing, said Suliman Baldo, a policy adviser for The Sentry, a Washington-based research group.

“Sudan needs to be very careful. They cannot afford now to be hosting opposition leaders and opposition armed groups,” he said.

“During the return of our forces from combing the area around Jabal Abutiour inside our territory, they were ambushed by Ethiopian forces and militias inside Sudanese territory, as a result of which lives and equipment were lost,” the army said, adding the attack took place on Tuesday.

The Sudanese army did not specify how many officers were killed. Local residents said that reinforcements were being sent to the area, which is part of the Fashaqa locality where some Ethiopian refugees have been crossing into Sudan.

Fighting erupted on Nov. 4 between Ethiopia’s government and the then-governing party in Tigray, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). Thousands of people are believed to have been killed and more than 950,000 displaced, some 50,000 of them into Sudan, according to United Nations estimates.

Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok visited Ethiopia briefly on Sunday and relayed his concerns about threats to Sudan’s security along its border with Tigray.

نزاع إثيوبيا

أبي أحمد: أتابع الحادث الحدودي.. ولن يؤثر على علاقتنا بالسودان

 أبي أحمد: أتابع الحادث الحدودي.. ولن يؤثر على علاقتنا بالسودان

قال رئيس الوزراء الإثيوبي أبي أحمد أنه يتابع الحادث الحدودي مع السودان، مشيرا إلى أن لن يؤثر بالعلاقات مع الخرطوم.

وأعلن الجيش السوداني، الخميس، أنه أرسل تعزيزات كبيرة للحدود مع إثيوبيا بعد مقتل عدد من جنوده، كما تقدمت الخرطوم بشكوى للاتحاد الإفريقي ومنظمة "إيغاد" بشأن الاعتداءات الإثيوبية.

يأتي ذلك فيما وصل رئيس مجلس السيادة الفريق عبدالفتاح البرهان ورئيس الأركان الفريق أول محمد عثمان الحسين، وقيادات من الجيش إلى ولاية القضارف لتفقد القوات السودانية بعد حادثة الاعتداء من القوات الإثيوبية وقوات الأمهرا.

وقال الجيش السوداني، في بيانه، إنه يتم التواصل مع أديس أبابا لوقف الاعتداءات من ميليشيات وقوات إثيوبية، مشددا: "سنتصدى بقوة لأي محاولات عسكرية لاختراق حدودنا".

ونقلت مواقع سودانية عن جنود عائدين من المعارك الحدودية قولهم، إنهم تعرضوا لقصف من الجيش الإثيوبي، وأن الجيش فوجئ بقصف مدفعي إثيوبي أثناء عملية تمشيط حدودية، مؤكدين أن الهجوم الذي تعرض له الجيش مصدره قوات منظمة وليس ميليشيات.

وكانت القوات المسلحة السودانية قالت، الأربعاء، إن قواتها "تعرضت لكمين من القوات والميليشيات الإثيوبية" خلال دورية أمنية بالمنطقة الحدودية.

وأضافت في بيان "أثناء عودة قواتنا من تمشيط المنطقة حول جبل أبو طيور داخل أراضينا تعرضت لكمين من القوات والميليشيات الإثيوبية داخل الأراضي السودانية، نتيجة لذلك حدثت خسائر في الأرواح والمعدات"، مشيرة إلى أن الهجوم وقع أمس الثلاثاء.

ولم يحدد الجيش السوداني عدد أفراده الذين قتلوا.

واندلع قتال في الرابع من نوفمبر بين الحكومة الإثيوبية والجبهة الشعبية لتحرير تيغراي - الحزب الحاكم‭ ‬السابق - في الإقليم الواقع في شمال إثيوبيا.

ومن المعتقد وفقا لتقديرات الأمم المتحدة بأن آلافا قتلوا ونزح أكثر من 950 ألفا، نحو 50 ألفا منهم إلى السودان.

وزار رئيس الوزراء السوداني عبد الله حمدوك إثيوبيا لفترة وجيزة، الأحد، ونقل لمسؤوليها مخاوفه بشأن التهديدات لأمن السودان على طول حدوده مع تيغراي.

“There are multiple credible reports that there are Eritreans fighting in Tigray”

In a recent meeting with senior members of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Parliamentarians were briefed on recent developments in Tigray

Dec 16, 2020

The Government of Ethiopia has confirmed that it shot at a UN convoy.

Following concerns expressed in the House of Lords about the plight of people being caught up in the horrors of war, Parliamentarians who have been following events in Tigray and Ethiopia have been asking some searching questions of the UK Government and the international community.

In a recent meeting with senior members of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Members of the Lords and Commons were told the following points:

  • There are multiple credible reports that there are Eritreans fighting in Tigray.
  • There are credible and deeply concerning reports that refugees have been abducted and/or returned to Eritrea.
  • China (despite their position on non-interference in internal affairs) share concerns about the potential impact of the Tigray conflict on wider Ethiopian and regional stability. This is due to significant investments in the country, including Tigray.
  • There is a growing international consensus that any involvement by regional parties would have a dangerous impact on regional stability.
  • The Government of Ethiopia (GoE) has confirmed that it shot at a UN convoy but the UN hasn’t commented. The GoE now want the UN to travel in armed convoys but the UN haven’t agreed to that as yet.
  • It is probable that there have been atrocities committed on both sides.
  • There is a possibility that the TPLF engage in a protracted insurgency.
  • Both Eritrea and Amhara are currently occupying land in Tigray. That Amhara and Eritrea have moved into areas of Tigray increases the risks of popular support among Tigrayans.
  • While the expectation is that federal Ethiopia holds together, protracted ethnic conflict within Ethiopia  – in and beyond Tigray – means that disintegration cannot be discounted.
  • The Ethiopian Government have stopped humanitarian aid from reaching their own people.
  • An additional £5 million has been made available by HMG to Sudan to assist with the refugee crisis.
