US and Ethiopia exchange accusations of war crimes in Tigray conflict.
TL;DR Summary
Ethiopia and Eritrea have rejected US allegations of war crimes committed during the two-year conflict in Tigray, calling them "inflammatory" and "defamatory". The US accused all parties to the conflict of committing war crimes but singled out Ethiopian, Eritrean and regional Amhara forces for crimes against humanity, without mentioning forces loyal to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a forceful call for accountability after his visit to Ethiopia last week, where he praised progress in implementing a peace deal in the country and announced $331m in aid.
