Ethiopia’s army killed at least 45 people last month as they carried out door-to-door home raids, in what’s been described as one of the worst recent acts of violence in the region of Amhara. That’s according to Ethiopian human rights advocates, who said government forces accused the civilians of supporting the armed group Fano. A pregnant woman was among those shot, according to witnesses. The extrajudicial killings in the town of Merawi come after months of violence between Fano and Ethiopia’s military, which had jointly fought the Tigray People’s Liberation Front until that conflict ended in November 2022. Details of January’s massacre only emerged in recent days due to a months-long internet blackout in most of Amhara. The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission said the death toll could be higher.
