A new Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International Report on Crimes against humanity in Western Tigray zone of Ethiopia has named three individuals as responsible for some of the war crimes committed against civilians in the Western Tigray region.
The report titled “We will erase you from this land,” a phrase coined from the harrowing testimony of a victim of forceful eviction, shows how simmering tensions in Western Tigray comprises the findings of a 15-month research of medical and forensic reports, court documents, and interviews of over 400 victims of the clashes including those who fled to Sudan.
