Issued on: 17/09/2026 - 15:30

Ethiopia's Education Ministry says around 20,000 university students in Tigray will be temporarily relocated to other public campuses after accusing the TPLF of using universities as military bases. The move comes as fighting and drone strikes continue in the northern region, with many students saying the trauma of the 2020-2022 Tigray war is still fresh. Our correspondent Tom Canetti reports from Addis Ababa.
