Human rights group Amnesty International has called on the African Union to pressure the Ethiopian government to ensure justice for victims of sexual violence in the two-year war with Tigrayan forces.

Amnesty International wants the Ethiopian government to ensure justice for victims of sexual violence as part of the Tigray peace process and urged the African Union to pressure Addis Ababa to that end.

"When we speak about peace, the foundation of peace is justice and accountability," Nur said."So, we cannot start to talk about peace if justice and accountability is not being discussed at the table. So, we believe that should be the starting point before we start to speak about peace." The warring factions agreed to end hostilities in African Union mediation led by former Nigeria President Olusegun Obasanjo. But the rights group says the process has yet to provide a roadmap for accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Amnesty International's Fisseha Tekle wants unrestricted access for human rights investigators to probe abuses against civilians in the two-year conflict in northern Ethiopia.
