The Ethiopian government has suspended the activities of three foreign humanitarian organisations which have been working in the restive northern Tigray region.

Ethiopia's Agency for Civil Society Organisations on Wednesday said that it had identified rule violations by the three aid groups namely Doctors Without Borders (MSF), the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and Maktoume Foundation, while monitoring their activities.
