Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is set to form a new government, following a landslide victory for his Prosperity Party in the General Election. But the victory is bitter-sweet as he suffers a blot on his international stature over accusations of abetting atrocities in Tigray.
On Thursday, Abiy’s administration twisted the knife into the Tigrayan humanitarian crisis when it expelled key UN officials charged with co-ordinating aid to the displaced. His action was condemned by the UN and the US.
