Ethiopia rejected charges by Human Rights Watch (HRW) that it was using donor aid to suppress political dissent, in a statement issued on Thursday.

Ethiopia “categorically rejects that it politicises the use of development aid in any shape or form,” said the foreign ministry statement.

The New York-based watchdog had said in a report on Tuesday the Ethiopian government was denying development aid both to farmers who did not support the regime and families of opposition members.
