But that loss was compounded by additional findings by rights watchdogs Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, of extrajudicial killings and sexual violations. They implicated Amhara security forces acting under Amhara and Walqayte officials who are accused of ethnic cleansing and other crimes in western Tigray, while fighting for the government of Addis Ababa. Ethiopian authorities are alleged to have been moving bodies from western Tigray to unknown destinations, a move that has since been questioned by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). “Western Tigray is a crime scene. It is an obstruction to justice and should be stopped,” tweeted Kindeya Gebrehiwot, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front’s spokesperson.
