The query likely refers to the Mai Kadra (also spelled Maikadra or Mai-Kadra) massacre in Tigray, Ethiopia, during the Tigray conflict in November 2020. en.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.org
There is no standalone report from the UN Human Rights Council (or “Commission”) exclusively on Mai Kadra. However, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) jointly investigated with the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and addressed the incident in their comprehensive report on violations in the Tigray conflict. ohchr.orgohchr.org
Key Reports
• EHRC Preliminary Findings (24 November 2020): This rapid investigation by Ethiopia’s national human rights body (not UN) detailed the Mai Kadra events shortly after they occurred. It is widely referenced alongside UN efforts. ehrc.orgehrc.org
• OHCHR-EHRC Joint Investigation Report (3 November 2021): The main UN-linked document. This 156-page report examines violations by all parties in the Tigray conflict (November 2020–June 2021). It includes field visits to Mai Kadra and findings on the massacre. ohchr.orgohchr.org
Full Joint Report: Available on the OHCHR website (PDF). ohchr.org
Summary of Findings on Mai Kadra (from Joint and Related Reports)
On 9 November 2020, in Mai Kadra (Western Tigray), a Tigrayan youth group known as Samri, along with local Tigrayan police, militia, and administration members, carried out a massacre targeting ethnic Amhara and Wolkait civilians (mostly seasonal farm laborers). en.wikipedia.orgohchr.org
• Perpetrators: House-to-house attacks using machetes, axes, knives, and other weapons; identity checks targeted non-Tigrayans. The attack was described as premeditated and ethnicity-based. ehrc.org
• Casualties: Reasonable grounds to believe more than 200 ethnic Amhara civilians (mostly men) were killed. Earlier EHRC preliminary estimates were higher (minimum ~600, possibly more), but the joint report revised/confirmed around 200+ based on further verification. Bodies were left in streets, hidden, or buried in mass graves. ohchr.orgen.wikipedia.org
• Retaliation: After Ethiopian National Defence Forces (ENDF) and Amhara Special Forces captured the town on 10 November, revenge killings targeted at least 5 Tigrayans by Amhara militias (e.g., Fano). en.wikipedia.org
• Legal Characterization: The joint report and EHRC described the initial massacre as part of a widespread or systematic attack on civilians, potentially amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity. It also noted forced displacement of Amharas. ehrc.orgohchr.org
The reports emphasize that all parties to the conflict committed violations (including later ones by ENDF, Eritrean forces, etc.), and call for accountability, investigations, and redress for victims. ohchr.org

Two Ethiopian 🇪🇹 shop owners in South Africa 🇿🇦, robbed and gunned down by anti immigrant protesters, Caught on CCTV camera.
The situation seems beyond robbery and protest. The two guys were surrendered and lying on the ground when the young man first check for the environment and mercilessly shot them down.
There must be a terrorist insurgence and therefore the government must act to prevent further harm.
It is good to be a voice to a voiceless ones every where including to those refugees from the Ethiopian empire to South Africa and Saudi Arabia. Let us not forget the situations in the Ethiopian empire's worse than the ones not only in south Africa and Saudi Arabia but in most other countries of the world.
So many youngsters in Ethiopia have become extremely hopeless because they are not only jobless but kidnapped and forced to join the army with little or no training to be used as Cannon Fodders. Many youngsters in Oromia are in hiding. To escape forced conscription, some have joined the OLA.
As the elites led by Abiy Ahmed strongly believe in military solution for all political problems, the IC should be reminded to break their silence to have the intensive wars in Oromia and Amhara Regional States and another war with Tigray and Eritrea stopped immediately. At this critical juncture, silence is not an option to have multiplied millions from annhilation.
Please remind the Saudi Arabia and South Africa government that they were helped by some of those in the Ethiopian empire.
Mandela got military training by General Tadesse Birru. So many others as well opposed apartheid.
It is good to remind the Saudi Arabian government the fact that so many of thier ancestors survived in the Ethiopian empire until they started depending on their oil.
At least 65 Ethiopian migrants are at imminent risk of execution in Saudi Arabia for drug-related offenses.
Saudi Arabia’s extensive use of the death penalty is intertwined with fundamental and systemic rights violations.
The death sentences should be commuted and the death penalty abolished. hrw.org/news/2026/04/2…
