Nairobi, KenyaAt least 600 civilians were killed during an attack in northern Ethiopia in early November because of their ethnicity, a state-appointed human rights commission said Tuesday.

In its preliminary report into the November 9 massacre at Mai-Kadra, a town in the Tigray region, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said an informal group of Tigrayan youths, aided by local officials and police, “carried out door-to-door” raids, killing hundreds they identified as ethnic “Amharas and Wolkait.”

The EHRC, which describes itself as an “independent national” institution, accused the group, along with local Tigrayan militia and police security, of committing “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity” before they retreated from the advance of the Ethiopian Defense Forces (EDF)

Amharas, so that to me, basically means Ethiopians. That’s bad, an act of genocide. Someone needs to get into that country. Also in the news is that Ethiopia is rejecting “international interference”.

So, this situation sounds real bad.

Ethiopians by the number in Washington DC, Twin Cities and so on but maybe they are sometimes of other “ethnic backgrounds”.

Worse, in this case above, “religious violence”?? I am not so sure about that in this case.

Anyway, bad over there.

For the record, the head of WHO is of Tigray heritage, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Ethiopia is one of the more developed and successful african nations in terms of law and order.

Terrible.
