——————————
The Egyptian Alliance for Human Rights and Development condemns the mass killings by the Ethiopian government against citizens of the Tigray province, where authorities in the Sudanese state of Kassala found more than 40 bodies floating on the surface of the Setit River between Sudan and the Ethiopian province of Tigray, with gunshot wounds found on some of the bodies.
According to Sudanese government statements: The bodies came from the riverbed of Humira (located in the far north of Ethiopia) in areas controlled by Ethiopian troops and allied fighters from the Ethiopian Amhara region, where they expelled refugees from their homes in Tigray and subjected the refugees to torture, and the coalition confirms that Ethiopian forces carried out mass killings of people trying to flee the war in Tigray province, Ethiopia.
The Egyptian Alliance for Human Rights and Development expresses serious concern about the increasing humanitarian violations of Ethiopian forces and the commission of numerous inhumane practices and war crimes against citizens of Tigray province, and appeals to the international community to address all violations of Ethiopian forces in Tigray, where thousands of people have died and more than 2 million people have been displaced since November 2020.
