Eritrean soldiers allegedly massacred at least 300 people near Adwa just days before the Ethiopian government and Tigray forces signed a peace deal. In late October 2022, 63-year-old Abrehet Hagos heard that Eritrean soldiers had surrounded her village near the town of Adwa in Ethiopia's Tigray region. That night, we knew we had to flee," Hagos told DW. Hagos told DW she was worried about her daughter who has a mental disability, adding that she has had nightmares and lost weight since the murders. Witnesses told DW that they believed the massacre of civilians was a retaliation by Eritrean soldiers for the defeat they had suffered at the hands of Tigrayan forces.
