Investigation reveals execution took place in western Ethiopian forest, not northern monastery

Online users have shared a graphic video of uniformed men shooting two people in the back of the head, claiming it was filmed in May 2023 at a monastery in northern Ethiopia where the military said it carried out an attack on militants. But the killing actually occurred in a different place: exclusive footage obtained by AFP Fact Check proves the clip shows an execution in the western Benishangul-Gumuz region, which has seen recurring violence linked to ethnic tensions.
