Fighting Shatters Truce in Ethiopia's War-Torn Tigray Region
------------------------------------------------------------

In Ethiopia, the United Nations is calling for a renewed ceasefire after
fighting erupted between government forces and separatist rebels in the
northern region of Tigray. Both sides are accusing each other of being
the first to break a five-month-old truce. The United Nations is calling
for the resumption of peace talks and full access to the region, where
some 30% of children face malnutrition amid one of the world's worst
humanitarian crises.
