Arsema Berha, 9, rests at the Ayder Referral Hospital in the Tigray capital, Mekelle, on Feb. 25, 2021, after being injured during fighting in Ethiopia.

An internal U.S. government report obtained by The New York Times says that Ethiopia is conducting “a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing” under the cover of war in the Tigray region, an area largely controlled by Amhara militias in the northern part of the country.

The Times says the report, written earlier in February, describes “in stark terms a land of looted houses and deserted villages where tens of thousands of people are unaccounted for.”
