Ethnic clashes escalate in the Gambella region of Ethiopia

• At least 14 and possibly dozens have died in ethnic violence in the Itang administrative district of the western Ethiopian region.
• Gambella, host to more than a quarter-million Nuer refugees, has seen a cascade of retaliatory violence between the Nuer and Anuak ethnic communities since the fall.
• The Nuer refugees have fled from South Sudan as civil war persists, which has seen weapons transported to Ethiopia and further exacerbated the Gambella conflict.
