Ethiopia on Tuesday rejected a determination by the U.S. State Department that its army, along with all sides in the recently concluded conflict in the northern Tigray region, had committed war crimes, calling the charge 'inflammatory' and 'untimely.'

"Such apportioning of blame is unwarranted and undercuts support of the U.S. for an inclusive peace process in Ethiopia," the Ethiopian foreign affairs ministry said in a statement. Nevertheless, the statement said Ethiopia hoped its "strategic relationship" with the United States would be restored, echoing desires expressed by both sides during Blinken's visit to repair relations strained by the war.
