Bodies litter the roadside from Ethiopia’s capital to disputed regions in the north of the country as the civil war continues to devastate communities. Mohammed Seid fought in the mountains of Antsokia to defend his village, Ambo Weha, but TPLF rebels approached from another side and when he returned, his family had been slaughtered. Mr Ahmed has since been criticised for his central role and the actions of his forces in the current war. He stayed to look after his young wife and their children, but when the rebels came they killed him anyway. “When my boy was taking his last breath and we couldn’t control our tears, they abused us horribly.”The people in Ambo Weha were massacred because they are ethnic Amharas, it is understood.
