On the 8th of January, an airstrike on a facility for displaced families in Dedebit, Tigray, murdered more than 50 people and injured over a hundred more. In mid-December 2021, a series of airstrikes in Alamata, southern Tigray, killed 28 people in a market area. Armed drones have been used in some of the strikes, and there is rising concern over the number of civilians killed. The government, which has been fighting rebels for more than a year, claims it has the right to deploy whatever weapons it wants. Legesse Tulu, a spokeswoman for Ethiopia’s government, declined to comment on the aforementioned instances. Ethiopia is currently not subject to an arms embargo, and the sale of armed drones is a murky area in terms of international law and treaties.
