Ethiopian border clashes spill over into Sudanese refugee camps
Renewed fighting between the Ethiopian military and Tigray regional forces near the Sudanese border on August 2, 2026, resulted in projectiles landing inside Sudan's Gedaref state. Sudan's Commission for Refugees reported that the cross-border shelling hit the Um Rakuba and Tunaydibah camps, causing casualties among Ethiopian refugees. The incident threatens the fragile 2022 peace agreement and has sparked fears of a new humanitarian crisis as troop mobilizations continue on both sides of the border.
