CNN
Fighters from Ethiopia's northern Tigray region have been accused of gang rape and physical assault by 16 women in the neighboring Amhara region, according to a report released by Amnesty International on Wednesday.
Women from the Amhara town of Nifas Mewcha told Amnesty that fighters associated with the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), which has been fighting Ethiopia's central government in a year-long war in the country's north, committed widespread rape and sexual violence in mid-August.
CNN has not interviewed the women and cannot independently verify the claims.
