In East Africa, a cease-fire is in place after nearly 8 months of fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region.

Almost a million people there face the world's worst famine crisis in a decade.

Thousands have been killed in the fighting and witnesses accuse Ethiopian troops of atrocities.

A European diplomat recently said Ethiopian leaders vowed to wipe the Tigrayans out.

Ethiopia denies these allegations.
