The December 2020 Gijet massacre was a mass extrajudicial killing that took place in Gijet (Шаблон:Lang-ti) in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia during the Tigray War, on 30 December 2020.[1] Gijet is the central town of woreda Saharti, southeastern zone of Tigray.

Massacre

The Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) killed 21 youngsters, including a seven-year-old child in Gijet (SE Tigray) on 30 December 2020.[1][2]

Typical massacres committed by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers in the Tigray war are (1) revenge when they lose a battle; (2) to terrorise and extract information about whereabouts of TPLF leaders; (3) murder of suspected family members of TDF fighters; and (4) terrorising the Tigray society as a whole such as in case of mass killings in churches.[3]

Perpetrators

Dimtsi Woyane reported the perpetrators of this massacre as being the Ethiopian army.[2]

Victims

The “Tigray: Atlas of the humanitarian situation” mentions 21 victims of this massacre.[1]

Reactions

The “Tigray: Atlas of the humanitarian situation”,[1] that documented this massacre received international media attention, particularly regarding its Annex A, that lists massacres in the Tigray War.[3][4][5][6]

After months of denial by the Ethiopian authorities that massacres occurred in Tigray, a joint investigation by OHCHR and the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission was announced in March 2021.[7]
