One year after the Tigray war's end, Human Rights Watch calls on the UN and global community to maintain pressure on the Ethiopian government.

The Ethiopian conflict continues as Human Rights Watch insists on international pressure for accountability a year after the Tigray war's conclusion.

Human Rights Watch on Thursday urged the United Nations and the international community to “maintain pressure” on the Ethiopian government to ensure justice for victims of atrocities, one year after the end of the Tigray war. A peace deal brokered in South Africa by the African Union on November 2 last year brought an end to the fighting in Tigray but clashes have since erupted in other parts of the country, notably in Amhara region, whose forces supported federal troops during the war.

The federal government’s decision to impose a six-month state of emergency in early August in Amhara has also raised fears, with the UN-backed Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia warning of an increase in rights abuses in the region.
