Eritrean troops fighting in Ethiopia’s Tigray state systematically killed hundreds of unarmed civilians in the northern city of Axum on November 28-29, 2020, opening fire in the streets and conducting house-to-house raids in a massacre that may amount to a crime against humanity, Amnesty International said today in a new report.
Amnesty International spoke to 41 survivors and witnesses – including in-person interviews with recently arrived refugees in eastern Sudan and phone interviews with people in Axum – as well as 20 others with knowledge of the events. They consistently described extrajudicial executions, indiscriminate shelling and widespread looting after Ethiopian and Eritrean troops led an offensive to take control of the city amid the conflict with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) in mid-November.

They pull down Marathi boards of establishments
Kannada activists went on a rampage in Belagavi on Friday pulling down boards of shops that were in Marathi.
This was in response to Shiv Sena and members of some Marathi groups blackening Kannada boards at Kolhapur in Maharashtra on Thursday. Groups of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) members, led by Deepak Gudenatti and others, targeted shops on Kakati Road and Khade Bazaar in the old city. While some tried to blacken Marathi boards, others pulled them down. Activists climbed poles to bring down Marathi posters and banners.
