A report presented Thursday to the U.N. Human Rights Council accuses all parties to the conflict in northern Ethiopia of widespread atrocities, many amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity, despite a peace agreement signed nearly a year ago. The blistering 21-page report from the three-member International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia documents wide-ranging atrocities committed since the conflict between the government and the Tigray Liberation Front erupted November 3, 2020. "The Ethiopian national defense forces, Eritrean defense forces, regional forces and affiliated militias perpetrated violations in Tigray on a staggering scale,” he said. The commission urged the Human Rights Council to ensure continued robust international investigations and public reporting of the situation in Ethiopia. He called the report substandard, professionally deficient and conspicuously political, noting that since the signing of the Pretoria Peace Agreement, Ethiopia has redoubled its efforts to consolidate peace in the country.

He started in information technology work at the State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research in 2021, where he maintained a security clearance. He also currently works as a "contract management analyst" at the Justice Department, court papers said, and had access to classified information. He was also seen taking notes on or copying the classified information into Word documents. And multiple times last month, according to prosecutors, Lemma allegedly stored the sensitive information onto a disc and illegally transported it to his Maryland residence. In a statement, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller praised the FBI and Justice Department "for the diligent work that led to an arrest and charges in this matter."

WASHINGTON - A U.S. government contract employee for the Justice and State Departments was arrested on espionage charges unsealed on Thursday, prosecutors said, accusing him of passing on classified information to Ethiopia. He faced three charges including "delivering national defense information to aid a foreign government, conspiracy to deliver national defense information to aid a foreign government, and the willful retention of national defense information," the Justice Department said. Between December 2022, and August 2023, Lemma copied classified information from intelligence reports and deleted the classification markings from them, the Justice Department said. Lemma then removed the information, which was classified as 'secret' and 'top secret,' from secure facilities at the State Department. Lemma used an encrypted application to transmit classified national defense information to a foreign government official associated with a foreign country's intelligence service, the Justice Department said.
