UN decries 'extreme brutality' in Ethiopia Tigray war

The UN rights chief on Wednesday slammed the "extreme brutality" of the year-long war in Ethiopia's Tigray region, voicing alarm that a recent state of emergency would inflame the situation.

Bachelet voiced alarm that the situation has since deteriorated, particularly since Ethiopia declared a nationwide state of emergency on Tuesday amid fears Tigrayan rebels were heading for the capital.
