Military/Civilian Lines Blur in Ethiopian Fighting

 The Associated Press published on 10 September 2021 an article titled "At Scene of Ethiopia's New Killings, Some Fight, Some Flee."

As Tigrayan forces move into Amhara Region, civilian and military casualties are becoming increasingly blurred.  The Ethiopian government called on all citizens to stop the Tigrayan advance.  Some took up the call for action.  Amhara claim the Tigrayans are killing civilians.  Tigrayans say Amhara civilians took up arms to stop them.  At this point in the conflict, it would appear that atrocities are occurring on all sides of the conflict.
