Tribes are clashing over land, that they both claim, and their clashes have gone completely violent.
The dispute is between the Garri and Borana tribes.
Both tribes hold land on both sides of the border with Kenya.
Kenyan officials report that at least twenty thousand refugees have fled into their country, in efforts to escape the violence.
Many have been injured in the conflict, but are wary of seeking medical attention, in fears they would end up in areas which belong to the other tribe.
Ethiopian troops had been intervening, which had calmed the violence, til this latest burst.
