☝️Ethiopia Clashes Spill Across the Kenyan Border
Fighting between Ethiopia’s Oromia and Somali regional forces has spilled into Kenya. Authorities evacuated Kenyan national high school exam candidates from border schools after rocket-propelled grenades(RPG) and stray bullets struck local buildings. Kenyan security forces intensified patrols and safely detonated yesterday unexploded ordnance. An estimated 50,000 Ethiopian refugees have fled into Kenya from Moyale
📍WHO Chief Alarmed by Drone Strikes
WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was “deeply disturbed” by reports of drone strikes killing civilians in Amhara and Tigray. He warned that such attacks and civilian casualties are becoming increasingly frequent, further straining Ethiopia’s fragile health system.
📍A series of 11 drone strikes in South Gondar’s Andabet district and Wollo’s Mehal Amba area reportedly killed 12 civilians and injured six, according to local accounts.
📍Ethiopia’s regional presidents are scheduled to begin military training in mid-November, expanding the programme already introduced for federal ministers and senior officials
📍Tigray Civil Servants to Receive Salaries Again
In a positive development, Tigray civil servants have been informed that salary payments will resume next week.
