Eritrean soldiers arrived in the tiny mountainside village of Mariam Shewito on the morning of Oct. 25 and began killing residents, survivors said. More than 50 people were killed near the Mariam Shewito Church and more than 150 people were buried near the Abune Libanos Church, villagers said, although they could not provide more specific locations or timelines. The Post provided Scher and Van Den Hoek’s initial findings and high-resolution satellite imagery to five additional analysts. Each said areas near Mariam Shewito Church had some likelihood of being linked to the interment of the dead. Video captured months after Tigray massacres shows an expanded graveyard at the Mariam Shewito church where witnesses say more than 50 were killed.
