The US Department of State issued a statement on 10 September 2021 titled "Ongoing Conflict and Human Rights Abuses in Northern Ethiopia."
The State Department condemned in the strongest possible terms recent reports of continued human rights abuse and atrocities in Ethiopia by the Ethiopian National Defense Forces, the Eritrean Defense Forces, Amhara regional and irregular forces, the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF), and other armed groups. It added there is no military solution to the conflict in northern Ethiopia and urged the Ethiopian government and TPLF to enter at once into negotiations without preconditions.
