U.N. Human Rights Council to Probe War Crimes in Ethiopia
---------------------------------------------------------

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. The conflict between northern
Tigrayan forces and the Ethiopian government has led to a devastating
humanitarian crisis, as well as likely war crimes and crimes against
humanity. This comes as the Ethiopian government has announced its army
has recaptured several more towns from Tigrayan rebels.
