Halka Alm, a 42-year-old father of three, arrived in Hamdayet, Sudan from a village in Ethiopia which he told CNN was attacked by "abusive soldiers" with guns, knives and machetes during the night. He also fled on foot to the border and some of his children and other relatives got lost along the way. 

He accused Abiy's army of targeting ethnic Tigrayans and his home was looted. Redwan Hussein, the government spokesperson for the State of Emergency task force, told CNN on Wednesday that no civilians had been killed by the federal forces that they knew of.

------The situation risks spiralling "totally out of control"and war crimes may have been committed, the United Nations said on November 13, as repercussions spread around the volatile Horn of Africa. 

The US State Department's top diplomat for Africa and the US Ambassador to Ethiopia told reporters on a call Thursday that the chance of a mediated settlement in the growing Ethiopian conflict seems slim at the moment. 

"Neither the Ethiopian government nor the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) are interested in mediation at this point," said Tibor Nagy, the US assistant secretary of state for African affairs.
