The World

Human rights investigators have uncovered grave abuses that might constitute war crimes in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region. The United Nations human rights office, together with the government-created Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC), has released a report on atrocities committed by all sides in the yearlong Tigray conflict. The UN high commissioner for human rights said the violence can be described as, “extreme brutality.” The World’s Africa correspondent Halima Gikandi explains to host Marco Werman what we’ve learned from the report released on Wednesday.
