US Condemns All Sides for War Crimes in Ethiopia Conflict
TL;DR Summary
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has stated that all sides involved in the Tigray conflict in northern Ethiopia have committed war crimes, including rapes, massacres of civilians, forcible deportations, and ethnic cleansing. The US determination does not carry any legal weight, but it could bolster calls for accountability against groups and leaders accused of human rights abuses. The conflict began in 2020, and the violence quickly escalated, with the Tigray ethnic group becoming enmeshed in fights with longstanding rivals among the Amhara people and the neighbouring country of Eritrea.
