Ethiopia’s leader on Tuesday said atrocities have been reported in Tigray, his first public acknowledgement of possible war crimes in the country’s northern region where fighting persists as government troops hunt down its fugitive leaders.

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed also admitted, after repeated denials by authorities, that troops from neighbouring Eritrea have gone into Tigray, where their presence has inflicted “damages” on the region’s residents.
