Clashes between Ethiopia’s Oromia and Somali regions displace thousands into Kenya

Tension continues to grip the border town of Moyale in Marsabit County as clashes between Ethiopia’s Oromia and Somali regions escalate over an administrative dispute. The fighting reportedly intensified following the death of a 13-year-old girl and tensions over the flying of the Somali regional state flag. The conflict has forced more than 40,000 people to flee across the border into Kenya, with thousands more continuing to seek refuge in the country.
