Amnesty warns Tigray conflict reignites amid impunity

Amnesty International warns that renewed fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region, which erupted in early August between Tigrayan forces and the Ethiopian National Defence Force, stems from a failure to ensure accountability for atrocities committed during the 2020-2022 war. The organization says impunity for past abuses, including extrajudicial killings and sexual violence, has left civilians vulnerable again. Amnesty calls on authorities to protect civilians and allow access to human rights monitors and media.
