The ongoing fighting in Northern Ethiopia between Ethiopia National Army and forces loyal to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has reportedly resulted in many civilian casualties. Amnesty International is reporting that there has been a massacre in a Western town  of Tigray region carried out by forces loyal to the TPFL following a defeat by Government troops in a nearby area. The conflict is turning increasingly brutal as Government forces appear to be gaining the upper hand in the conflict. The TPLF has decreed that all Tigray people must join the forces that are loyal to the political party to fight against the National Army which has been mobilised to Tigray to remove the TPLF from power in the Northern region.
