Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Thursday called on 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.
The two-year conflict in Northern Ethiopia between forces loyal to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) killed half a million people, according to the United States, with all parties accused of grave rights abuses.
