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.
