Doctors Without Borders says its staff witnessed troops drag men off public buses and execute them in embattled region.
International medical charity Doctors Without Borders has said its staff witnessed Ethiopian soldiers executing four civilians in the country’s embattled Tigray region. In a statement, the organisation also known by its French acronym, MSF, said three staff members had been travelling in a “clearly marked” MSF vehicle on Tuesday on the road from regional capital Mekelle to Adigrat, some 120 kilometres (75 miles) further north, when the attack occurred. “Along the journey they encountered what appeared to be the aftermath of an ambush of an Ethiopian military convoy by another armed group, in which soldiers were injured and killed. Military vehicles were still on fire,” MSF said on Wednesday in the statement attributed to Karline Kleijer, its head of emergency programmes.More Related News
