U.N. rights chief Bachelet expressed alarm Tuesday at the growing human rights and humanitarian crisis in northern Ethiopia. The comments come as the U.N. human rights office released a new report on the Tigray conflict, covering the period from November 22nd of last year to February 28th. She accused the warring parties of gross violations of human rights, of looting, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure, including schools and health facilities. I again urge the government, Tigrayan forces, and all other parties to the conflict to cease such violations,” she said. She added Ethiopia abided by its human rights obligations and was prepared to engage in a constructive dialogue to resolve the conflict.
