GENEVA (Reuters) -All sides in the deepening conflict in northern Ethiopia are committing severe human rights violations and should pull back from their year-old war, the United Nations said on Friday.
An estimated 5,000 to 7,000 people are detained, including nine U.N. staff, under a state of emergency and its "excessively broad provision" declared by the government last month, the U.N. Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, Nada al-Nashif, said.
