now the un's rights commission has
called for a full inquiry into possible
war crimes in ethiopia
after reports emerged of a massacre of
civilians in the tigray region
eyewitnesses blamed tigran forces loyal
to the northern region's tplf party
but they've denied this they accuse the
government soldiers of killing civilians
in air raids
the un also warned of a growing refugee
crisis saying
4 000 civilians had fled over the
sudanese border in a single day
the ethiopian government has issued
arrest warrants for senior officials
in tigray our correspondent kalki daniel
beltal gave me this update from addis
ababa
we came to know about this uh these
killings from a report by the rights
group amnesty international
it calls what happened in the northern
state of tegra in a place called
michondra a massacre it says that of
course and possibly hundreds
were killed amnesty international is
saying that they have confirmed those
people that are killed
uh were not fighters they were civilians
and it seems that a number of them were
killed there
we wouldn't independently confirm or
verify
what's behind there and but what what
they're saying what the amnesty people
are saying is
uh some of the eyewitnesses that they
talked to accused that the grand
people's liberation front
the tplf that's engaged in fighting with
the federal government
the tpl left while when these
allegations
began circulating rejected this
accusation they said
they denied it and now we hear that the
u.n is calling for
investigation but we are understanding
that this is just one of the many
the many atrocities that we're hearing
uh since the conflict began in
ethiopia's northernmost states
