War in the caucuses and continuing protests in BelarusoDR editor Tom Rowley highlighted the “tragic” situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed territory in the south Caucasus. Meanwhile, he added, protests against the rigging of August’s election in Belarus continued, as the government cracked down with increasing violence. “We’ve had a very important development – the agreement between warring parties to implement a ceasefire that they had agreed in October," he said. The government “has gone to war with the Tigray province in the north of the country,” he said. He added that it was likely that the conflict would last for a while, and numerous refugees were arriving in Sudan already.
