UN Alarmed Over Forced Return of Eritrean Refugees to Embattled Tigray Region

VOA News

   The United Nations voiced alarm Friday over the forced return of
   Eritrean refugees to camps they fled from in Ethiopia's embattled
   Tigray region.

   The Ethiopian government said in a statement it was sending back
   Eritrean refugees who had fled from Tigray to Addis Ababa in recent
   weeks. The U.N. refugee agency said it had received reports of several
   hundred refugees being transported to Tigray on buses.

   The government said it was safe for the refugees to return "to their
   respective camps" after the army defeated forces loyal to the region's
   former ruling Tigray People's Liberation Front.
