Human Rights Watch Account of Tigrayan Civilian Executions in Amhara Region

 Human Rights Watch published on 9 December 2021 a report titled "Ethiopia: Tigray Forces Summarily Execute Civilians."  

Atrocities have bedeviled Ethiopia's ugly civil war from the beginning, initially focused primarily against Tigrayans in Tigray Region.  As the Tigrayan Defense Forces expanded the conflict into Amhara Region, the atrocities followed.  This report investigates summary execution of Amhara civilians in Chenna and Kobo during September.  Human Rights Watch underscores the need for an independent international inquiry into alleged war crimes in Ethiopia's Tigray and Amhara regions.
