Summary

Fighting between the armies of Ethiopia's Somali and Oromia regions erupted in the border city of Moyale after a Somali regional flag was raised there. At least 5 people were killed, including a 13-year-old girl, with additional civilians wounded in the crossfire. Local residents reported gunfire continuing on Friday. The violence prompted at least 10,000 people to flee across the border into Kenya, where the Kenya Red Cross launched emergency operations. The conflict is linked to longstanding land disputes between the two regions. The federal government had not yet commented on the clashes as of the latest reports.
