Rounded up, massacred and posted on social media: can Ethiopia bring justice for atrocities in Tigray?

The country is about to start investigating crimes reported in a brutal regional war. But trust is at an all-time low and survivors feel forgotten

Meaza Teklemariam was seven months pregnant when the soldiers came to her home in January 2021, dragged her husband, Tsegaye, outside and bound his hands together, before taking him away with other men from their neighbourhood in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.

“They said to him, ‘You are a fighter, you are a fighter’,” says Meaza, tears rolling down her cheeks. “He kept saying, ‘No, no. I’m a farmer, I’m a civilian.’”
