HeadlineDec 20, 2021

The United Nations Human Rights Council is launching an international investigation into Ethiopia’s 13-month conflict that’s left thousands of people dead and millions displaced. The resolution passed despite objections from the Ethiopian government.

This comes as the Ethiopian government has announced its army has recaptured several more towns from Tigrayan rebels.
