        Letay gave birth to twin daughters as violence broke out in Ethiopia’s Tigray region in November 2020. She lay writhing in pain from post-childbirth complications. “I prayed and prayed,” her husband said. “God didn’t help me.” http://apne.ws/ilBdBi3 pic.twitter.com/oEnxAvsWzA

        The war began as a dispute between Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who won the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for making peace with neighboring Eritrea, and the Tigrayans who had long dominated Ethiopia’s national government.http://apne.ws/HuSkqpv

        In April, several refugees confirmed to the @AP that they had been given new identity cards eliminating all traces of Tigray by authorities from another ethnic group.     “Their aim is to erase Tigray,” said a Tigrayan man whose original ID was burned.http://apne.ws/rYa8Fw7

        Thousands of ethnic Tigrayans were swept up into detention centers across the country on accusations that they were traitors. Many were held for months without charges, the @AP found in April.http://apne.ws/KKsHj6p

        When the @AP arrived in Hawzen in May, Tigrayan fighters had recently retaken the rural town from Ethiopian government troops, laying claim once again to land that had switched control multiple times since the war began.http://apne.ws/4j1c5KB

        “If things don’t change soon, mass starvation is inevitable.”   In June, the @AP found that many people in Tigray were not just starving but being starved. Farmers, aid workers and local officials confirmed that food had been turned into a weapon of war.http://apne.ws/iLhrU6G

        Bodies began appearing more frequently in the river separating the Tigray region from Sudan in August, marking the latest deaths in a war that had at that point killed thousands of civilians and spilled into other areas of Ethiopia.http://apne.ws/szyXfKa

        At the scene of one of the deadliest battles in the conflict, witness accounts reflected the increasingly blurred line between combatant and civilian after the Ethiopian government urged all capable citizens to stop Tigray forces “once and for all.” http://apne.ws/0Vdhaay pic.twitter.com/HaKEclHh7T

        In every district of Ethiopia’s Tigray region where one aid group works, residents have starved to death. Ethiopia’s prime minister and other senior officials have denied that there is hunger in Tigray.http://apne.ws/kMc3wgx
