 Violence returned to the region in August, shattering a five-month truce as the fighting has escalated in Tigray with government troops and the Eritrean allies controlling key areas deep in the region. And outside Africa, Rishi Sunak has imagined the new lead of the United Kingdom's conservative party and is said to become the prime minister of the United Kingdom. An announcement made by Sir Graham Browne said only one nomination was received by the 1922 Committee for the new leader of the party and he was backed by 100 MPs. Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was in a comeback withdrew from the race. Sunak, who lost his last bid to be PM less than two months ago, is of Indian descent and who will be the first man of colour to hold that office. Standing officer in the leadership election, I can confirm that we have received one valid nomination. Rishi Sunak is therefore elected as leader of the Conservative Party.
