CoHA was the foundation for the actions that dismantled int'l monitoring of the atrocities in #Ethiopia, despite warnings of challenges to come.

#Tigray, 🇪🇹 & #Eritrea stand on a precipice. Will the world again sit back & watch atrocities unfold?

The 3⃣ years since Russia's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine have brought death and destruction across the country. A path to peace must include Ukraine and prioritize Ukraine's security and territorial integrity.

The suspension of @CARDEthiopia, @AhreFor and @RightsLawyers on unfounded allegations is yet more evidence of the #Ethiopia|n government's crackdown on civic space, all while toting its commitment to a transitional justice process.

#Myanmar's military has been responsible for #WarCrimes, #CrimesAgainstHumanity & #Genocide against the #Rohingya & o/ ethnic minorities, as well as wonton violations against the population as a whole following the Feb. 2021 coup.

It is past time for justice to catch up.

#Ethiopia : #Oromia region signs peace deal with #OLA splinter group

The Oromia regional government has announced the signing of a peace deal with a splinter group of the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), led by former central zone commander Sagni Nagasa.

Details of the agreement, signed by Shimelis Abdissa, president of the Oromia region, and Sagni Nagasa, former OLA central zone commander, have not been made public.

In September, Sagni Nagasa stated that his faction no longer operated under the OLA, accusing its leader, Kumsa Diriba, also known as Jaal Marroo, of authoritarianism. He expressed his willingness to engage in talks with the government.

At the time, the OLA’s Public Relations Office announced that Sagni Nagasa had been dismissed from the group “on account of treasonous sabotage” and described him as “a disgruntled former member of the organisation.”

The OLA has not yet responded to the signing of the peace deal that is referred to by local media as a peace deal signed between the regional government and the OLA faction.

The militarised conflict between the OLA and government forces has plagued the Oromia region, resulting in significant loss of life, alleged human rights abuses, and widespread disruption of civilian communities across the region. AS

Today marks 1,000 days since #Russia launched its full-scale armed attack on #Ukraine. At least 12,162 civilians, including 659 children, have been killed since 24 February 2022.

[Sarah Hunter @S_M_Hunter]

.@UNICEF: 16 children killed/injured daily in #Ukraine. 1,000 days of bombs has taken a "staggering & unacceptable toll" on children who have been "killed in their beds, hospitals and playgrounds" leaving families with trauma &/or life-altering injuries.

Almost 2 years since CoHA & 1 year since @UN_HRC-mandated #ICHREE's end, victims/survivors of the war in #Tigray & atrocities in #Amhara & #Oromia have been left wanting for justice.

Check out this new doc highlighting our ongoing concerns on justice and accountability in 🇪🇹.

[GCR2P @GCR2P]

We've joined our CSO colleagues in highlighting impediments to effective transitional justice & accountability for atrocities in #Ethiopia.

Victims and survivors deserve a policy that is reflective of their need for justice.

Ethiopia has failed to uphold human rights, with countless and ongoing atrocities in Tigray. Voting #Ethiopia onto the @UN_HRC would legitimize impunity. The world must demand accountability! #JusticeForVictims #UpholdHumanRights

War crimes & crimes against humanity continue to be perpetrated by gov't forces across #Ethiopia while victims of wars past and present are left wanting for justice.

Member states should #LeaveTheBallotBlank on #Ethiopia at tomorrow's UN HRC elections.

📣‼️As #UNGA meets tomorrow to vote for new @UN_HRC members, we've joined 10 other CSOs in calling upon member states to leave the ballot blank for Ethiopia.

States perpetrating atrocities should not sit on the HRC.
