The warring parties in the Ethiopian Tigray civil war have agreed to a humanitarian truce to allow aid deliveries to millions of people in urgent need of assistance.
The 16 month civil war in Ethiopia’s north has left thousands killed and displaced more than two million people.
More than half a million people are said to be at the brink of famine in what humanitarian groups have called the “world’s worst hunger crisis in a decade”.
There are also accusations of gross abuses, including sexual assault and rape, though both parties continue to dispute these allegations. Alan Kasujja has been speaking to our reporter Kalkidan Yibeltal in Addis Ababa. He returned to Amhara, in the north of the country, the place that became the epicentre of the fighting for five months. There, he met women who shared their stories of sexual attacks. On Africa Daily, Alan and Kalkidan are talking about the long term traumas many people - especially women and girls – are suffering in the Ethiopian Tigray civil war.
