According to the US, all parties involved in the terrible conflict in northern Ethiopia have committed war crimes.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who visited Ethiopia last week and spoke with government and Tigrayan officials, said in a statement on Monday that his department thoroughly examined the laws and the evidence to identify the violations.
He charged war crimes were committed throughout the two-year violent struggle by members of the Amhara, Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), Eritrean Defense Forces, and Ethiopian National Defense Force.
Additionally, he accused the Amhara forces, the Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Defense Forces of perpetrating crimes against humanity such as murder, rape, and other types of sexual assault and persecution.
