Ethiopia Conflict – level 1

18-11-2020 15:00

Tigray State is in Ethiopia. Ethiopia’s officials say that Tigray soldiers kill hundreds of people. It is very violent.

Many people leave Ethiopia. They are scared. They run away to Sudan. Ethiopia’s soldiers fight with local soldiers. Ethiopia’s soldiers win. Injured people need blood. Ethiopia’s government asks people for help. Many people donate blood.

The situation is not easy. Tigray soldiers say that they do nothing wrong. It is not possible to say who tells the truth.

Tigray State’s president must quit his job. Officials say that he helps terrorism. Terrorism is when you hurt or kill people to get something that you want. Officials say that the president does not fight for his country. Officials appoint a new president.

Difficult words: donate (to give something to somebody who needs it more), quit (to end, leave), appoint (to make someone officially start a job).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
