#Ethiopia : The pattern of attacks in the Metekel region point to what is now an active insurgency by the Gumuz against the Amhara , which could escalate into an open conflict between the 2 regional states. The Gumuz are asserting their right to administer indigenous land. (1/3)

90 people were killed in attacks overnight, a day after PM Abiy visited the region and issued veiled threats against the "politicization of land" by Gumuz, who border the restive Blue Nile state in Sudan, and share a common heritage. (2/3)

All signs seem to point of increased bloodshed,especially when the current situation is viewed in the context of the rising Sudan-Ethiopia cross-border hostilities (3/3)
