Eritrean Defense Forces Accused of War Crimes in Tigray by Amnesty International

Amnesty International has accused the Eritrean Defense Forces (EDF) of committing war crimes and possible crimes against humanity in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. The alleged abuses, which occurred between October 2022 and January 2023, include rape, sexual enslavement, extrajudicial executions, and deprivation of basic necessities. The report focuses on the Kokob Tsibah and Mariam Shewito districts, which were under EDF control until January 19, 2023. Amnesty International calls for accountability and states that the communities in these districts have been irreversibly affected by the violations.
