In Ethiopia, Tigrayan forces have recaptured the UNESCO World Heritage town of Lalibela from government fighters, according to witnesses on the ground. This comes less than two weeks after the government said it took control of the historic site. On Saturday, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said he had returned to the frontlines of battle.
Meanwhile, a new report by Human Rights Watch found Tigrayan rebels carried out dozens of civilian executions in August and September. The U.N. has said all parties to the conflict have committed violations of international human rights, some of which could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. The more than year-long conflict has killed thousands of civilians, displaced millions and created a humanitarian disaster.
