Clashes between Ethiopian federal government troops and Tigrayan forces have erupted in the country’s northern Tigray, a region still devastated and impoverished from a full-blown war and more recent huge cuts in international aid.

The fighting has triggered the suspension of flights, security and diplomatic sources told the AFP news agency on Thursday.
