Ethiopian security forces have committed widespread attacks amounting to war crimes against medical professionals, patients, and health facilities in the country's northwestern Amhara region, Human Rights Watch said in a 66-page report released this week.

 The region was under a state of emergency until last month after fighting erupted there between federal forces and the Fano self-defence militia in August 2023.

For more on this report, Peter Ndoro spoke to Laetitia Bader, Deputy Africa Director at Human Rights Watch.
