Ethiopian government suspends two more human rights groups, deepening concerns over freedoms.

Ethiopian authorities have suspended two prominent human rights organizations, the Ethiopian Human Rights Council and the Ethiopian Human Rights Defenders Center, citing lack of independence and mandate violations. This crackdown follows the suspension of three other rights groups in December, indicating the government's intolerance of independent scrutiny. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have criticized these actions, emphasizing the need for international pressure to halt human rights violations, including mass arbitrary detentions in the Amhara region.
