Tigray Opposition Say 52,000+ Killed in Conflict as U.N. Warns All of Ethiopia Faces Unrest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.N. warned Wednesday the humanitarian situation in the northern
Tigray region of Ethiopia could get even worse and that the rest of the
country could become destabilized due to the volatile situation. This
comes a day after Tigray opposition groups said at least 52,000 people
have been killed since a conflict in the region broke out in November.
Some 3 million people have been displaced. Meanwhile, up to 20,000
Eritrean refugees in Tigray are missing after two camps were destroyed.
The U.N. says many were abducted and forcibly returned to Eritrea.
