A confidential US government report revealed that Ethiopian officials and militia members carried out a systematic ethnic cleansing operation in the Ethiopian Tigray region.
The report, written earlier in February and obtained by The New York Times, was documented by Anatolia, with looting of homes and the displacement of villages in Tigray, where tens of thousands of people have gone missing.
He indicated that officials and fighters from the neighboring "Amhara" region had entered Tigray to support Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
The report stated that "entire villages were seriously damaged or completely wiped out" as a result of "the systematic use of force and intimidation."
And Friday, Amnesty International said in a report that "the Eritrean forces fighting in Tigray carried out systematic killings against hundreds of defenseless civilians in the northern city of Axum on 28 and 29 November 2020."
The report described what the Eritrean forces committed as a "massacre that may amount to a crime against humanity," as the forces fired in the streets and raided civilian homes.
On Thursday, US President Joe Biden and Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta discussed the situation in Tigray during a phone conversation.
A White House statement said, "Presidents Biden and Kenata discussed the deteriorating humanitarian situation, the human rights crisis in the Ethiopian province of Tigray, and the need to act to prevent further loss of life, and to ensure humanitarian aid."
On the fourth of last November, clashes erupted in the region between the federal army and the "Tigray People's Liberation Front", before Addis Ababa announced on the 28th of the same month that the "law enforcement" process had ended with controlling the entire region.
