HRW says Eritrean troops shot dead hundreds of civilians and engaged in 'widespread pillaging' in Tigray region's Axum town as Ethiopian troops mostly looked on

Human Rights Watch says Eritrean troops shot dead"over 200 civilians" on November 28-29 alone, making Axum massacre in Tigray region one of the deadliest atrocities of the conflict so far.

The findings from the rights watchdog on Friday come as global concern mounts over atrocities by Eritrean troops in Tigray. UN leaders on Thursday accused the Eritreans of possible crimes against humanity and urged them to pull out.Amnesty: Eritrea troops massacred hundreds in Ethiopia's AxumPrime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced military operations against the leadership of the Tigray People's Liberation Front , Tigray's then-ruling party, in early November, saying they came in response to TPLF attacks on federal army camps.

"I asked one soldier, why are you not doing anything, you are Ethiopian, and we are in Ethiopia; you are allowing the Eritreans to do this," it quoted one resident as saying.The massacre began on November 28 after Tigrayan militia members, joined by some residents, attacked Eritrean soldiers, HRW said.

But the government has also tried to cast doubt on Amnesty's findings and accused it of "reinforcing the misinformation and propaganda by TPLF and its cohorts."
