Yet in Sudan, near the border of Ethiopia and the disputed territory of what is officially called western Tigray, tens of thousands of refugees remain in limbo – unable, or too afraid, to return home. Lemlen had found a piece of paper pinned to her door in the town of Baeker in western Tigray. “If you call, you put people in danger,” says Abeba, a refugee who fled western Tigray at the start of the war. “I’m scared to think about what Ethiopia will become,” says Emebet, referring to the deepening distrust between communities. She doubts whether refugees from western Tigray will ever return; if the peace holds, she thinks most of them will relocate elsewhere.
