In what has been described as the worst violence since the 2022 peace agreement that ended the war in Tigray, Ethiopia forces killed at least 45 civilians in the Amhara region in the last 48 hours. All reports cited the statement by the Ethiopia Human Rights Commission (EHRC). The current crisis between Amhara regional forces and the Ethiopia government started in April 2023. Since May, the EHRC has accused the Ethiopian government of maintaining military siege on North Gondar, North Wollo, and North Slewa. Ethiopia, the second most populous country on the continent, after Nigeria, has been in varying levels of political and military crisis since 2018, including the war in Tigray that started in 2020.
