Human Rights Watch (HRW) has accused the Tigrayan rebels of summarily killing dozens of civilians in “apparent war crimes” in two towns they controlled in Ethiopia’s Amhara region.
“Tigrayan forces showed brutal disregard for human life and the laws of war by executing people in their custody,” said Lama Fakih, HRW’s crisis and conflict director.
HRW has called on the UN to establish an international inquiry into war crimes and probe abuses by all parties in the Tigray conflict.
The rebel group has yet to comment on the charges.
