War has broken out again in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. After a period of quiet, fighting has returned, and the situation is getting worse.
Here is what is happening right now:
Young men are leaving. Many people in Tigray are afraid of being forced to fight in the war. Because of this, large numbers of young men are fleeing their homes to stay safe.
Old enemies are working together. People who used to fight each other are now joining forces. This shows how much the situation has shifted.
The internet is down. Communication is a major problem. People in the region are having trouble getting online or making phone calls, which makes it very hard to know exactly what is happening on the ground.
Lives are being lost. Ethiopia's military says they have killed hundreds of rebels from the TPLF (the group that leads the Tigray region). Both sides are reporting heavy activity, and the fighting is spreading.
Experts are very worried. Many are calling this a 'disastrous new war' that could cause a lot of pain and suffering for everyone in the area.
We will keep watching this story as more news comes in.
