Residents say Ethiopian soldiers kill more than 50 civilians in #Amhara

Ethiopian soldiers killed more than 50 civilians this week in a town in the Amhara region during house-to-house searches that followed fighting with a local militia, residents told Reuters.

The reported killings in the town of Merawi appeared to be among the deadliest incidents since last July when fighting erupted between the army and the Fano militia and has resulted in more than 200 deaths, according to #UN reports last year.

The incident followed clashes between the army and Fano on Monday.
