The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission has accused a youth group from the Tigray region of being behind a massacre earlier this month; it says more than 600 civilians were killed in the town of Mai Kadra. Amnesty International had earlier highlighted reports of a massacre, but was unable to say who was behind it, or exactly how many died. Daniel Bekele, Chief Commissioner at the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission, said that civilians had been stabbed, strangled and beaten in a well-organised attack which might amount to a crime against humanity.
