Statement of US Embassy in Eritrea on Facebook

“The United States has asked the Eritrean government to withdraw its forces from Tigray immediately. We have conveyed our grave concerns about credible reports of human rights abuses committed by Eritrean forces and other actors in Tigray. We continue to call for independent and transparent investigations into reports of looting, sexual violence, assaults in refugee camps, and other human rights abuses, and accountability for those responsible.”
