Ethiopia extends state of emergency in Amhara
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia's parliament on Friday extended by four months a state of emergency declared in August to respond to an insurgency in the northern region of Amhara that has resulted in hundreds of deaths and drawn accusations of widespread human rights abuses. Fighting erupted in Amhara last July between federal forces and a local militia called Fano, which has accused the government of undermining the region's security. The state of emergency handed the government powers to impose curfews, restrict people's movement and ban public gatherings. The state-appointed Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has documented a range of alleged abuses in the Amhara conflict, most of which it has attributed to government forces. EHRC head Daniel Bakele said on social media on Friday that his organisation was "gravely concerned" about the implications of the extension for human rights and the humanitarian situation.

Ethiopia: UN Refugee Chief Calls for Humanitarian Response
Nearly 8 million people have fled Sudan to neighboring countries since the war broke out in April 2023. Addressing journalists on Wednesday in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, Grandi said the refugee crisis in Ethiopia and Sudan has been sidelined and poorly funded by international aid organizations, especially after the Ukraine and Gaza crisis. "The international community cannot turn its back on the humanitarian response and dire situations in Sudan and Ethiopia that are highly affected by conflicts and internal displacements," Grandi said. Ethiopia is one of six neighboring countries that continue to receive people fleeing Sudan. In 2024, the overall requirements for UNHCR's response in Ethiopia totals some 426 million U.S. dollars, said the UN agency.
