Nebelet, before the Tigray War

The Imbaseneyti massacres or Nebelet massacre was a mass extrajudicial killing that took place in Imbaseneyti (Tigrinya: አምባሰነይቲ) in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia during the Tigray War, in December 2020.[1] Imbaseneyti is a small woreda, with capital Nebelet in the Central zone of Tigray.

Massacre[edit]

The Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) and Eritrean Defence Forces killed at least 112 civilians in Imbaseneyti (Central Tigray) in December 2020.[1] The EEPA report of 3 January stated that hundreds of civilians were killed in Nebelet .[2] In line with historical studies of massacres, including those committed during the Armenian genocide,[3][4] a massacre can be defined as a conflict incident in which at least five unarmed civilians were killed on the same day at the same location. Typical massacres committed by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers in the Tigray war are (1) revenge when they lose a battle; (2) to terrorise and extract information about whereabouts of TPLF leaders; (3) murder of suspected family members of TDF fighters;[5] and (4) terrorising the Tigray society as a whole such as in case of mass killings in churches.[6]

Perpetrators[edit]

Witnesses and relatives interpreted the identity of the perpetrators as both Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers.[7]

Victims[edit]

The “Tigray: Atlas of the humanitarian situation” mentions 54 to 100 victims for Nebelet alone.[1] The number of victims of the killing spree is probably much larger, since 112 victims have been identified in Nebelet and adjacent villages, despite communication blackout.[7]

Reactions[edit]

The “Tigray: Atlas of the humanitarian situation”,[1] that documented this massacre received international media attention, particularly with regard its Annex A, that lists the massacres.[6][8][9][10]

After months of denial by the Ethiopian authorities that massacres occurred in Tigray, a joint investigation by OHCHR and the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission has been announced in March 2021.[11]

While the Ethiopian government promised that Eritrean troops will be pulled out from Tigray, the Eritrean government denies any participation in warfare in Tigray, leave alone in massacres.[12]
