PHOTOS: Ebonyi residents displaced by communal clash

Tears, anger and pain were written all over the faces of residents in Ebonyi as they narrated their experience escaping the clashes that have left thousands displaced across the state.

A number of factors were said to have caused the spike in violence in the state; some cite the leadership tussle involving members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) while others blamed the age-long dispute over land ownership.

In the pictures below, Mansur Ibrahim, TheCable chief photographer, captured the emotions of those caught up in the crisis whose documentary can be watched here.
