US Asks Eritrean, Amhara Forces To 'immediately Withdraw' From Tigray
“We strongly condemn killings, forced removals and displacements, sexual assaults, and other serious human rights violations in Tigray," US state dept. said.
US secretary of state Antony Blinken on Saturday called for the immediate withdrawal’ of Eritrean and Amraha forces from Ethiopia’s embattled Tigray region. At a state presser, Blinken said that the US was ‘gravely concerned’ about reports of atrocities, human rights violations, and the worsening crisis in the northern Tigray. Appealing to the African Union and other international partners for intervention, Blinken denounced neighbouring Eritrea and Ethiopia, as he asserted that those responsible for the violence “must be held accountable.”
