Stop Tigrayan violence

Tigrayan fighters affiliated with the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) deliberately killed civilians, gang raped and sexually assaulted women and girls, and looted private and public property in two localities in Ethiopia’s northern Amhara region, Amnesty International has found after interviewing dozens of victims and witnesses. Most of the atrocities were perpetrated in late August and early September 2021, a couple of months after parts of the Amhara region came under the control of Tigrayan forces. The crimes occurred at a moment when Tigrayan forces were facing growing resistance from local militias and residents who took up arms against them in a bid to regain control of their towns and villages
