Tens of thousands of Ethiopians have fled to Sudan in what the UN has called the worst exodus of refugees the country has seen in more than 2 decades.

A month after Ethiopia’s prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, declared war on the Tigray region, firsthand accounts detail a devastating conflict that has become a grisly wellspring of looting, ethnic antagonism and killings.

Nearly 50,000 have fled to Sudan so far, and their accounts stand at stark odds with the repeated claims from Abiy, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year for ending the border conflict with neighboring Eritrea, that no civilians are being hurt.

Many of the refugees have lingered in communities near the border rather than moving on to the more established refugee camps farther into Sudan, staying closer to home so they can get any news about their towns or missing loved ones. But little information is getting out, with mobile networks and the internet blocked for weeks by the Ethiopian government.

As the fighting in Tigray continues, it is degenerating into a guerrilla war that could unravel both Ethiopia’s national fabric and the stability of the entire Horn of Africa region. That includes Eritrea, which is allied with Ethiopia against the Tigray and has been shelled by the rebel forces, and Sudan, which has heavily deployed its army along its restive border with Ethiopia even as it has allowed refugees to cross.
