Two weeks into the conflict, the United Nations said it was making plans for as many as 200,000 refugees fleeing into neighbouring Sudan. Tigrayan refugees have told Reuters the Amhara militiamen are fighting on the government side, and the two regions have a border dispute. The conflict erupted two weeks ago after what the government called a TPLF attack on army forces stationed in the region. On Thursday, Tigray forces accused the government of bombing a university in the Tigray capital Mekelle. A week ago, Tigray forces fired rockets at two airports in Amhara.
