Ethiopia: The Tigray War - Lines of Fire Extending to the Sudanese Border

In northwestern Ethiopia, war doesn't need to cross the border to reach Sudan. Near the Tekeze-Setit River, villages on the Sudanese side can hear the explosions, and civilians begin searching for ways to flee towards the border. There, in the geography stretching between the Shiraro, Humera, and Tekeze regions, the Ethiopian-Sudanese border appears as a thin line on a map, but it is, in reality, one of the most volatile points in the Horn of Africa.
