Five diplomats said Ethiopia was courting support for a motion to cut short a UN-mandated inquiry into atrocities in the Tigray war, a move that could divide African and Western nations.
The Ethiopian government's two-year conflict with forces in the Northern Tigray region ended last November with thousands dead and millions uprooted. Both sides blamed each other for the widely documented carnages; including massacres, rape and detentions without trial.
