Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description Screenshot depicting the aftermath of a massacre, roughly geolocated near the Debre Abay monastery in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. It depicts soldiers walking around dead bodies in an open field.

In the video this was taken from, the soldiers appear to be the ones responsible for the massacre, as one of them is heard saying (in Amharic) "You should have finished off the survivors". They are shown to be laughing and joking amongst themselves. The soldiers appear to be wearing uniforms worn by the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF). The Telegraph described this as evidence of a war crime.

The cameraperson (right side) is presumed to be one of these soldiers.
