GENEVA, 5 March, 2021 (TON): UN human rights chief has asked the Ethiopia to permit monitors in Tigray to probe reports of killings and sexual violence.

Expressing fear over violations to continue, Michelle Bachelet said, “Victims and survivors of these violations must not be denied their rights to the truth and to justice.”

Until now several people have been killed and many forced from their homes as a result of the fighting between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s federal troops and forces of the region’s former ruling party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF).

Relief agencies had also struggled for access, while communications were patchy.
