Eritrean troops butchered more than 100 civilians in Tigray Ethiopia.

The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission has said that Eritrean soldiers killed more than 100 civilians in a November massacre in war-torn Tigray.

The findings were released on Wednesday by the government-affiliated but independent Ethiopian Human Rights Commission corroborate separate investigations by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch into the same killings in the historic town of Axum.

The latest report comes after Ethiopian Prime Minister for the first time that Eritrean troops had crossed the border into Tigray, and suggested they may have been involved in abuses against civilians.

“Information collected during this preliminary investigation confirm that during the two days of November 28 and November 29, grave violations of human rights were committed and that in Axum, over one hundred residents… were killed by Eritrean soldiers,” the commission said.

As these grave human rights violations may amount to crimes against humanity or war crimes, it underscores the need for a comprehensive investigation into overall human rights situation in Tigray region.”

The rights commission spoke to dozens of witnesses who said Eritrean troops shot unarmed civilians and fired on those who tried to collect their bodies.

According to witnesses, corpses were left in the streets for days, some being dismembered by animals.

Eritrean and Ethiopian troops were also accused of looting hospitals, even taking hospital beds and mattresses, resulting in crippling medicine and equipment shortages that resulted in patient deaths, the report said.
