The Kombolcha massacre is a mass extrajudicial and summary execution of over 100 Amhara civilian youths by the Tigray Forces in South Wollo, in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Bodies were set on fire at a business compound in the town. Kombolcha was described as a key warring location and is found on the A2 highway leading into Addis Ababa with speculation of TPLF advance to the Capital City. Looting of aid, and private and public properties was also reported. Kombolcha town is the industrial hub of the Amhara region. Background TPLF was the minority-dominant group in Ethiopian politics for 27 years. Regime changes occurred in 2018 in which the TPLF lost control of federal positions while holding power in the Tigray Region. The power struggle between Abiy Ahmed’s regime and the TPLF led to the Northern-Ethiopia war that started following the federal Northern Command attack by TPLF in November 2020. As the war prolonged, TPLF invaded the Amhara and the Afar regions in July 2021, reportedly massacring and causing severe destructions. Massacre Kombolcha was occupied by the TPLF forces from late October through the end of 2021. The massacre of Amhara civilians occurred on 30 October 2021, following the infiltration of the attackers into the town. Residents reported chaotic nights and gunshots. The massacre of the 100 youths occurred after a year of continuous fighting in the Tigray War, and with the invasion of Tigray forces into the Amhara region. Frightened residents reported that they had spent the day in their homes as gunfire shook the town. Members of the TPLF shot and summarily executed the youths, and reportedly set the victims on fire at a compound of a Turkey-based company. AAA identified partial victim's list and published testimonies. Looting and ransacking Tigray forces reportedly looted and ransacked foreign aid essentials, and private and public properties, including the WFP food supplies for malnourished children in Kombolcha.
