Human Rights Watch welcomes the adoption of the outcome of the UPR on Ethiopia, which reflected many important recommendations to address human rights concerns in the country. We welcome Ethiopia’s stated commitment to rights-based development and the government’s important efforts to improve respect for the rights of women, children, persons with disabilities, and migrant workers, as well as its longstanding support for up to 500,000 refugees. However, the Human Rights Council’s review of Ethiopia comes at a time of increasing concern about the rights situation in the country. Ethiopia’s government refuses to acknowledge, much less investigate and respond to, many credible allegations of serious human rights violations, including arbitrary detention, torture and ill-treatment by the state security forces.

The likely candidate for this are Amharas who oppose ‘ethnic’ politics and Tigreans whose identity are hidden by the ruling part

Fitsum Tefera is all too aware of the prestige usually associated with a variety of abstractism.     In fact he is not reserved from expressing his reverence of the great Ethiopian artists who went far on that road, some of whom his teachers. “When you spend a long time leading a life of an artist, you begin to yearn for alternatives in conveying your message,” says the 28 year old who does not find it hard to humbly admit he is a relative novice. “With maturity and much contemplation, there is a possibility that you might be prone to recede from depicting reality as it is.”   But not him. At least not yet. He is a nature aficionado whose love affair with landscape painting is tied with his childhood in Bale, an area in Southeastern Ethiopia famous for its gorgeous mountainous features. Born in Ha
