WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Scene from a brutal battle in Ethiopia - burned out vehicles, unburied bodies, family photographs. This is what was left behind after a battle in a northern village by giuliaparavicin and MaggieFick
Burned-out military vehicles, boxes of ammunition and the bodies of scores of federal troops were still scattered along the dirt road that runs through the Ethiopian village of Sheweate Hugum three weeks after the fighting subsided.
Nine days later, Tigrayan fighters regained the regional capital Mekelle, three hours' drive to the east, in a major setback for the central government. On the same day the city was retaken, Addis Ababa declared a unilateral ceasefire. Reuters interviewed Hussein at a jail in Mekelle, where a journalist saw hundreds of captured soldiers being held by the TPLF.
Spokespeople for the Ethiopian military, the prime minister's office and a government taskforce on Tigray did not return calls or messages seeking comment on what happened in Sheweate Hugum in mid-June and on the fate of any prisoners. Two residents said some Tigrayan fighters had been buried in local churches, but were unclear about numbers. The bishop of Mekelle had no information on casualties.Tiebei Negash covers her mouth and nose with a shawl to ward off the smell of dead bodies in her village of Sheweate Hugum in south-central Tigray.
