Ethiopia started forcibly returning hundreds of Eritrean refugees who had fled weeks of conflict in Tigray back to the northern region that borders Eritrea.
The refugees were rounded up at an Addis Ababa center belonging to the United Nations International Organization for Migration, put onto buses and driven to the Adi Harush and Mai Ani camps, which were home to about 50,000 people, according to Weldu Zeray, a representative of the exiles.
