ETHIOPIA Video documents a war crime during the ongoing armed conflict in Ethiopia. A surrendering female anti-government soldier receives no mercy from her enemies. Even though she is lying defenseless on the ground and trying to surrender, government soldiers kick her and fire at her multiple times.
In 2025, Ethiopia continues to face widespread internal conflicts with ethnic, political, and historical roots, particularly in the Amhara, Oromia, and Tigray regions.
In Amhara, the federal army is fighting local militias, such as Fano, over territorial control, often resulting in attacks on civilians and mass displacement.
In Oromia, the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) conducts attacks on government forces and infrastructure, with strong ethnic and political dimensions.
In Tigray, local clashes continue between different TPLF factions and federal forces, despite a formal ceasefire.
Tensions also persist between Ethiopia and Eritrea over access to the coast and strategic areas. Overall, federal forces face local militias and insurgents, civilians suffer from violence and a humanitarian crisis, and the risk of escalation remains high.
