Ethiopia’s Ahmed says ‘doesn’t want war’ with Sudan

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed says his country does not want war with Sudan, as tensions over a contested region along their border spark fears of broader conflict. The border quarrel is over Al-Fashaqa, an agricultural area sandwiched between two rivers, where Ethiopia's northern Amhara and Tigray regions meet Sudan's eastern Gedaref state.

It's sometimes called a forgotten war: fighting in Yemen has killed hundreds of thousands of people. Hunger has claimed even more lives, while 4.5 million Yemenis are internally displaced.
