Ethiopia: Terror in Tigray

<p>After an outbreak of conflict&nbsp;back in November last year between the Ethiopian military and the Tigray People's Liberation Front, thousands have been killed, and millions are now&nbsp;displaced.&nbsp;Soldiers from neighbouring Eritrea are also involved and suspected of carrying out some of the&nbsp;most brutal violence on civilians.
