In Ethiopia, Amnesty International has confirmed hundreds of people were likely stabbed or hacked to death in the region of Tigray Monday night. It hasn’t been confirmed who committed the mass killing, but at least three survivors of the massacre told Amnesty International they were attacked by members of Tigray Special Police Force and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front. This comes as African officials are calling for a ceasefire in Tigray, where federal troops have been unleashed against local government forces that seized a military base last week. Ethiopia’s Nobel Peace Prize-winning prime minister is claiming the western Tigray region has been “liberated,” while the United Nations warns of a dire and worsening humanitarian crisis.
