Fleeing Ethiopians tell of massacres
Tens of thousands of Ethiopians have sought safety in Sudan after Ethiopia’s prime minister declared war on the Tigray region. In their accounts to Times journalists, the Tigrayans described being caught between indiscriminate military shelling and a campaign of killing, r*** and looting by government-allied ethnic militias.

“I didn’t expect in our life that our government would kill us,” said Ashenafi Hailu, 24, who was nearly killed by a group of militia members. “I am frightened so much. I am not sleeping at night.”
