One candidate is contesting the election from jail. [...] Some 37 million of Ethiopia's 109 million people have registered to cast ballots, although some will have to wait until a second round of voting in September. No date has been set for voting in Tigray, where Ethiopia's military has been fighting the region's former governing party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), since November. [...] Merera Gudina, an ethnic Oromo and head of the Oromo Federalist Congress, was initially supportive of Abiy's reform agenda. But he said his party would boycott the elections after regional security forces shut down 203 of their offices in Oromiya region during the last year, leaving only three open. Merera, a former political prisoner, said thousands are detained.

More than 350,000 of Tigray's nearly 6 million people are living in famine conditions, according to an analysis by United Nations agencies and global aid groups first reported by Reuters on Thursday. Nearly 2 million others are one step away from such dire deprivation, they said.

Ethiopia's leaders in closed-door talks with a European Union special envoy earlier this year said "they are going to wipe out the Tigrayans for 100 years,"
