Ethiopia: Eritrean War Crimes in Tigray Region

 The New York Times published on 1 March 2023 an article titled "Slaughter on Eve of Ethiopian Peace Draws Accusations of War Crimes" by Abdi Latif Dahir and Simon Marks.

This article covers the same event reported on 1 March below by The Washington Post of a massacre in Tigray Region by Eritrean forces on the eve of a peace agreement last fall between Tigrayan forces and the central government of Ethiopia.  It contains less detail but suggests the attacks constituted war crimes.
