U.S. President Joe Biden raised concerns about air strikes in the conflict in northern Ethiopia and about human rights issues during a call with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Monday, the White House said.
Thousands have died and millions have been displaced since war broke out in the northern Tigray region in November 2020 between Abiy's federal forces, backed by regional allies, and the Tigray People's Liberation Front that governs the region.
An air strike in Tigray killed 56 people in a camp for displaced people and injured 30, including children, two aid workers told Reuters on Saturday.Aid organisations suspended their operations in the area of northwest Tigray where the strike took place, the U.N. agency for humanitarian affairs said on Sunday, citing an ongoing threat of drone strikes.
Human rights groups and the United Nations have raised concerns about large-scale detentions of ethnic Tigrayans. Abiy's government has denied any ethnically motivated detentions were taking place. The TPLF says Abiy wants to end the ethnically-based federal government system they created; Abiy says the TPLF is hungry to return to national power. Each side rejects the other's narrative.Some TPLF leaders were among opposition leaders freed from prison, the Ethiopian state broadcaster announced on Friday, as the government said it would begin dialogue with political opponents.Ethiopia, Africa's second most populous nation, is a major power in the Horn of Africa.
