We, as the United States, care about all Ethiopians and certainly will denounce violations of human rights against any individual, irrespective of ethnicity.
We have always in our conversations made clear that human rights is a core component of the Biden-Harris Administration's foreign policy.
We share the same concern that those responsible for these war crimes, crimes against humanity, and gross violations of human rights, be held accountable.
We have had discussions and urged the government to lift the State of emergency to allow access to media, to allow access to the internet.
