Ethiopia Accused of Using Rape as a Weapon of War in Tigray as New Evidence Emerges of Massacres

The Biden administration has been pressuring the Ethiopian government to end its military offensive and for Eritrea to withdraw its forces. Biden recently sent Senator Chris Coons to meet with the Ethiopian prime minister, who won the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.
