Keeping displaced families safe amid surge in Niger violence - Mali

Keeping displaced families safe amid surge in Niger violence

A year ago, when armed men entered Rissa’s* remote village in western Niger’s volatile border area with Mali, they began by ordering the villagers to hand over money, livestock and jewellery. Then the violence began. When they encouraged Rissa to join their group, the father-of-six knew it was time to go.
“They killed our leaders to make [people] leave the village,” 40-year-old Rissa explained. “The armed groups approached me to take part in the looting and crimes against the population. When I refused, they sent me death threats and also threatened to kidnap my wife and my children. I had to flee.”

Ethiopia’s Human Rights Commission reports on ongoing atrocities
On 23 December at least 207 civilians were killed in the Metekel Zone, Benishangul-Gumuz region of Ethiopia, when an armed group opened fire and burned homes while people slept. The victims were reportedly indigenous Shinasha people. Ethnic-motivated attacks have been on the rise in Metekel since September, with more than 140 civilians killed prior to 23 December. The attack also occurred one day after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed visited the region to urge calm.
In response to a surge in mounting violence, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) released two reports on 25 December and 1 January. The first report examined the Konso Zone of Southern Nations, Nationalities and People’s region where 66 civilians were killed and over 132,000 displaced between 10-21 November following a call for the redistricting of an area. The EHRC’s second report examined violence that followed the shooting of prominent ethnic Oromo activist and singer, Hachalu Hundessa, during June 2020, resulting in 239 people being killed. The Commission determined that some of the violence may amount to crimes against humanity under international law and called for the establishment of a comprehensive atrocity prevention mechanism to confront the growing threat facing the country.
