Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa could fall within 'months if not weeks', a military group allied with Tigrayan rebels says.
A joint investigation by the office of UN rights chief Michelle Bachelet and the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission , published on Wednesday, found evidence of "serious abuses and violations" by all sides in the conflict.
The report, which covers the period from November 3, 2020, through to June, pointed to extra-judicial executions, endemic torture and sexual violence among other abuses, and said that "a number of these violations may amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes".It detailed reports of gang rapes against women and girls, as well as men and boys.
Bachelet's office said it had also tracked abuses committed after the period covered in the report, including the deaths of 47 civilians at the hands of TPLF fighters in the village of Chenna in Amhara in September. In recent days the TPLF has claimed control of two key cities in Amhara, about 400 km north of Addis Ababa.
