THE NEW YORK TIMES - 2008
Tigray soldiers accused of war crimes in Somalia
In one case, "a young child's throat was slit by Tigray soldiers in front of the child's mother," the report says.
In one testimony, Haboon, 56, said her neighbor's 17-year-old daughter had been raped by Tigray troops. The girl's brothers tried to defend their sister, but the soldiers beat them and gouged their eyes out with a bayonet.
The report quotes testimony from 75 witnesses as well as scores of workers from nongovernmental organizations.
"The people of Somalia are being killed, raped, tortured. Looting is widespread and entire neighborhoods are being destroyed,"
"... about 6,000 civilians had been reported killed and more than 600,000 had been forced to flee their homes in the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
