From The Catholic Register<\/a> in Canada: <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Church networks are getting ready for a humanitarian disaster and a massive wave of new refugees as the civil war in Ethiopia rages on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThere are a lot of displaced (people) and there is going to be a lot of social impact, negative impact, once the dust settles,\u201d said Catholic Near East Welfare Association Canada executive director Carl H\u00e9tu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

War broke out in Africa\u2019s second largest country 4 November, after the Tigray Regional Paramilitary Police and militias loyal to the provincial government overran a federal army base in the town of Dansha west of the Tigrayan capital of Mekelle. As federal forces retook most of Tigray outside of Mekelle over weeks that followed, the war has sent over 30,000 civilian refugees into neighbouring Sudan. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that up to 200,000 people could become refugees in eastern Sudan in the coming six months, unless the war is quickly wound down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want Ethiopia to fall here. That would be a severe, major catastrophe for the entire region, where Ethiopia was one of the most stable strongholds of northeast Africa,\u201d H\u00e9tu said. \u201cA lot of the good work in the Tigray region is done by the Church, by the Catholic Church, particularly with their school system, with the Catholic Secretariat.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNEWA has been supporting the work of the Ethiopian Catholic Secretariat for generations, helping to build schools and churches and funding social projects. H\u00e9tu has begun raising money in anticipation of new humanitarian needs in the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople are being cut off from food, water, supplies,\u201d H\u00e9tu said. \u201cWe know that Tigray region is a region that is totally dry. It\u2019s been severely impacted by a lack of rain, many droughts. So a war is the last thing people need there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
