Documented Evidence of Atrocities

2021-2024
A February 2021 Amnesty International report revealed that Eritrean troops killed hundreds of unarmed civilians in the city of Axum between November 28 and 29, 2020. Despite overwhelming evidence - including international reporting, photographs, and video footage from the region - Abiy, as well as his counterpart in Eritrea, Isaias Afeworki, denied the presence of Eritrean soldiers inside Tigray for months.

International Pressure and Acknowledgment

2021-2024
It was only amid mounting international pressure that PM Abiy finally acknowledged - in a March 23, 2021, address to parliament - the presence of Eritrean soldiers on Ethiopian territory. In a letter to the UN Security Council on April 16, 2021, Eritrea finally confirmed its presence in Tigray and expressed it had "agreed - at the highest levels - to embark on the withdrawal of the Eritrean forces and the simultaneous redeployment of Ethiopian contingents along the international boundary" after months of repeated denial by President Isaias Afeworki and Prime Minister Abiy.
