Kenyan police said on Thursday that hundreds of Ethiopians, mostly women and children, crossed into Kenya through several entry points in Moyale, including the Sessi, Kore, Biashara, Foundation and Miti areas.

The people who crossed the border were fleeing tensions between leaders of Ethiopia’s Oromia and Somali regional states, according to Kenyan police.

The police reported gunfire and chaotic scenes in Moyale.

Mídia etíope informou que os combates em Moyale começaram como uma disputa sobre a haste da bandeira do Estado Regional Somali, um estado regional no leste da Etiópia, no domingo.

Tensions escalated into fighting between forces from the Oromia and Somali regions.

The Kenya Red Cross said it was setting up temporary shelter and distributing essential items including cereal and porridge flour.

It added that experts were conducting an assessment to work out how many people were ⁠affected and what their needs were.

The regional clash is hundreds of kilometres away from ‌‌a larger conflict in the northern Tigray region between government forces and a rebel alliance led by the Tigray People’s ‌‌Liberation ‌‌Front.
