The UN has approved an independent investigation into alleged war crimes in the Tigray conflict.

Ethiopian Nobel Peace Prize winner Abiy Ahmed has promised that the Tigray conflict will be resolved quickly.

However, 13 months later, fighting has escalated amid numerous reports of torture, rape and other atrocities in Tigray.

The conflict has caused one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.

The UN Human Rights Council has voted in favor of launching an independent investigation into war crimes.

The Ethiopian government says it will not cooperate with investigators and has accused the council of using the council as a “tool for political pressure”.

Why are international efforts to stop the war failing?
