A report by the UN and the state-appointed Ethiopian Human Rights Commission said all sides fighting in the war in Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray committed violations that may amount to war crimes
All sides fighting in the war in Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray committed violations that may amount to war crimes, according to a joint investigation by the United Nations and Ethiopia published on Wednesday.
It covers from November to June during the year-long conflict fought by Tigrayan forces against the Ethiopian military and its allies – forces from the Amhara region and soldiers from the neighbouring country of Eritrea. The report draws on 269 interviews, many containing graphic details of rapes and mutilations by Eritrean soldiers on military bases.
The report said Eritrean soldiers had killed around 100 civilians in the city of Axum, that Ethiopian soldiers had dragged about 70 men from their homes and killed them in three villages in southern Tigray, and that Tigrayan forces had killed around 200 Amhara civilians in the town of Mai Kadra, a crime followed by revenge killings of Tigrayans by Amhara.
