Ethiopia, officials added, is also battling hunger, droughts, floods and disease outbreaks. The ongoing armed conflict in Ethiopia began in late 2020, when the country's central government waged an offensive against separatists in the Tigray region, home to the Tigrayans, a minority group . The fighting — which has fueled widespread famine, sexual violence and extrajudicial killings — has pushed the number of displaced Ethiopians to 5.5 million people, according to the United Nations.S.
