More than 120 ethnic Amhara civilians died in a series of attacks carried out by forces from Ethiopia’s Tigray region last week, an official said.
The killings took place over three days earlier this month in the Dabat district near the city of Gondar, said Gizachew Muluneh, head of the Amhara regional communication bureau. Sewunet Wubalem, administrator of Dabat district, said 132 bodies had been recovered by authorities after the assault that followed five days of intense fighting between Tigray and government troops in early September.
