- Eritrean Defense Forces committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Tigray, Ethiopia, between October 2022 and January 2023, according to a new Amnesty International report. The crimes include rape, sexual enslavement, extrajudicial execution of civilians, and deprivation of food, water, and medical services.
- The report focuses on the Kokob Tsibah and Mariam Shewito districts, where the Eritrean Defense Forces were in control until January 19, 2023. The report details cases of sexual violence and killings of civilians, including a 70-year-old priest who was shot and killed while seeking refuge in a church.
- Amnesty International called for investigations into the allegations and urged the UN's Human Rights Council to renew the mandate of the International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia. The African Union's rights commission was also urged to reverse its decision to scrap an investigation into atrocities in Tigray without publishing a report.
