Ethiopian troops 'executed' aid workers in Tigray war, charity says

In a tragic incident during the ongoing conflict in Tigray, Ethiopia, a Spanish aid worker and two local staff members of the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) were reportedly executed by Ethiopian troops. According to MSF, the three individuals were shot multiple times, resulting in their deaths. The incident occurred in the town of Abi Adi, located in the Tigray region, which has been the epicenter of the conflict between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) since November 2020. The charity condemned the "unspeakable violation" and called for an immediate investigation into the incident. The Ethiopian government has not yet responded to the allegations, and the circumstances surrounding the killings remain unclear. This tragic event highlights the dangers faced by humanitarian workers operating in conflict zones and underscores the need for all parties involved in the Tigray conflict to respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians.
