Abiy spoke as concern con- tinues to grow over the human- itarian situation in the embat- tled region that is home to 6 million people. The United States has char- acterized some abuses in the Tigray war as “ethnic cleans- ing,” charges dismissed by Ethiopian authorities as unfounded. It also has urged Eritrean troops, who are fighting on the side of Ethiopian government forces, to withdraw from Tigray. The Ethiopian prime min- ister, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019 for his efforts to make peace with Eritrea, faces pressure to end the conflict in Tigray as well as to institute an international investigation into alleged war crimes, ideally led by the United Nations.
