Officials in Ethiopia have arbitrarily detained and forcibly disappeared thousands of ethnic Tigrayans who were recently deported from Saudi Arabia, a new Human Rights Watch report says as the country’s deadly Tigray conflict continues. This is the latest report citing witnesses who have described mass arrests of ethnic Tigrayans. But Saudi officials have deported thousands of them in recent years. According to Ethiopian officials, tens of thousands of migrants have returned home in recent months. Meanwhile, Tigrayans have told The Associated Press they live in fear.
