Approximately 36,000 people have crossed from Ethiopia into Kenya, fleeing violence around Moyale. UN agencies are on the ground assessing needs and providing emergency supplies. This and more in the World News in Brief:

🇪🇹 ETHIOPIA IS ERUPTING INTO DEADLY ETHNIC CLASHES HUNDREDS OF CIVILIANS ARE FLEEING INTO KENYA The border town of Moyale has become a battleground between Oromo and Somali regional forces. And the latest bloodshed reportedly began over a flag. A dispute over which regional government controls part of the town escalated into gunfire, leaving a 13-year-old girl dead. Now homes have reportedly been attacked, rival armed groups are fighting in the streets, and Ethiopian federal troops have been deployed to contain the violence. Local reports put the death toll above 17, with around 100 injured, although those figures remain unconfirmed. Meanwhile, hundreds of terrified civilians, many of them women and children, are crossing into Kenya. An argument over who gets to fly a flag has reignited a territorial conflict, and ordinary families are paying for it with their lives.

Morales for Prov Mayor fundraising event in NYC described by organizers this way: "New York City Democratic Socialists of America ran the table on primary night two weeks ago, winning nine out of ten of its contested races including two congressional seats. The impact of that victory is being felt far beyond the five boroughs. On June 30, Democratic Socialist Melot Kiros defeated a 30-year incumbent to win a congressional seat in Denver, Colorado. Democratic socialists are also running hard in Democratic primaries in Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City and South Florida.  On Thursday, more than 100 democratic socialists squeezed into hot, clammy bar in Crown Heights, Brooklyn to join a fundraiser for David Morales, a 27-year-old Rhode Island state legislator who is running to be the next mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, a city of 200,000 people with a large student population and sky-high housing costs that is ripe for a leftwing takeover.  Speaking to the feeling in the room that now is a time of unprecedented opportunity for the socialist left in the United States, the event’s emcee, Daniel Denvir, host of The Dig podcast who lives in Providence, vowed that if elected, “David is going to turn Providence into a laboratory for municipal socialism.” The fundraiser was organized by Denvir along with prominent members of New York City DSA, though it was not an official chapter event. Along with Denvir, the crowd heard from a pair of New York City DSA-backed electeds, Assembly member Emily Gallagher and State Senator Julia Salazar. Morales then took the mic and fired up the crowd." NOTE: Daniel Denvir, who introduced candidate Morales, is a Fellow at Brown University’s Watson Institute.

ICE officer Mario Alberto Morales appeared in a Houston courthouse Monday, turning himself in after being indicted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly hitting a man with a vehicle earlier this month. CBS News’ @JasonAllenLive has more.
