Fighting was reported in a volatile area of northern Ethiopia on Monday, local sources said, despite urgent international appeals for a halt to the renewed hostilities between government forces and Tigrayan rebels. I was hearing the sounds of heavy weaponry starting from morning to around 3:00 pm (1200 GMT),” one Kobo resident told AFP on condition of anonymity after fleeing to Woldiya about 50 kilometers (30 miles) further south. The various claims could not be independently verified as access to northern Ethiopia is severely restricted. #Amhara's Fano militia deployed to the frontline against #Tigray forces as fighting resumes in northern #Ethiopia after 5-month lull. Among the latest to express concern was the UN-appointed International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia.
