The group was the governing party in Tigray where fighting has been going on for months, and Ethiopia's dominant party for three decades until Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed came to power in 2018.

Plus, Rwanda’s capital Kigali goes into total lockdown for 15 days to contain the spread of Covid-19. How bad is the situation in the country at present?
