UN-Ethiopia Joint Investigation into Massacres and Sexual Violence in Tigray

Her request Ethiopia The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, has agreed to conduct a joint inquiry into the humanitarian impact of the conflict in Tigray, a UN spokesman said on Wednesday.

Tigers complain to human rights groups and journalists large-scale massacres and sexual violence against civilians by members of the security forces.

Humanitarian organizations have also complained that the health system in Tigray has been severely affected by the conflict and warned of the danger of a large-scale famine.

“The High Commissioner on Monday responded positively to the Ethiopian Commission on Human Rights’ request for a joint inquiry,” said Jonathan Fowler, a spokeswoman for Bachelet.

He added that a plan has been prepared so that an investigation committee can be set up as soon as possible, as broadcast by AMPE.

The Prime Minister of Ethiopia Abi Ahmed, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019, launched a military offensive in Tigris in early Novemberwith the aim of overthrowing the ruling party in the province, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which it accused of attacking federal army bases.

Abby declared victory for the federal army on November 28, but some TPLF leaders escaped and vowed to continue the fight.

Access to Tigray has improved recently, but for weeks communications were cut off and travel restrictions were imposed, making it difficult to assess the situation in the area.
