My Husband's 'Addiction' Destroyed Our Home! He was the 'buyer' for his friends
We note with the utmost alarm that thousands of Ethiopians of Tigrayan ethnicity reportedly continue to be detained arbitrarily in life-threatening conditions in western Tigray,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
He said the United States was “deeply troubled” by the recent findings of a joint report by two leading human rights groups, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, which had found the violence in the region amounted to ethnic cleansing.
The report chronicles abuse by forces from the Amhara region, aided by government troops and militia groups. It said hundreds of civilians in western Tigray had been forced from their homes through threats, sexual violence, denial of aid and unlawful killings.
It also found evidence of deaths in detention facilities across western Tigray and gang rape by security forces.
Researchers said they based their findings on interviews with more than 400 residents of western Tigray.
Ethiopia’s government, while saying it would carefully examine the report, also criticized it for being one-sided.
