Question

Consider the following pairs:    Area of Conflict Country     Donbas Syria   Kachin Ethiopia   Tigray North Yemen    How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?

Accepted Answer

The Donbas is a historical, cultural, and economic region in eastern Ukraine. It has two heavily industrialised regions of Donetsk and Luhansk which were occupied by Russian forces last year. Hence pair 1 is not correctly matched. Kachin State is the northernmost state of Myanmar. In 2022, Myanmar military air strikes reportedly killed dozens of people including civilians at a concert in Kachin State. Hence pair 2 is not correctly matched. Tigray is Ethiopia’s northernmost region. The region is at the center of an ongoing civil conflict involving ethno-regional militias, the federal government, and the Eritrean military that has attracted the concern of humanitarian groups and external actors since November 2020. In October 2022, the first formal African Union-led peace talks between an Ethiopian government team and Tigray forces happened in South Africa. Hence pair 3 is not correctly matched.
