The Ethiopia-Tigray peace talks taking place in South Africa should address the suffering of civilians in northern Ethiopia by leading to a deal to allow for humanitarian aid in the region and minimising civilian casualties in the war, a rights organisation has said.

Amnesty International on Thursday said the African Union brokered peace talks should also lead to justice for victims and survivors of the conflict, the NGO added.
