Overview

  • MSF’s newly published internal report concludes that ENDF soldiers intentionally intercepted and executed three clearly identified aid workers on June 24, 2021
  • The victims were traveling in a marked MSF vehicle near Abi Adi when they were shot multiple times at close range and their burned, bullet-riddled car was found up to 400 metres away
  • Open-source satellite imagery and civilian testimony place a retreating ENDF convoy at the scene and record a radio order to “shoot” the white MSF vehicle
  • Despite over 20 high-level meetings and repeated formal submissions since 2021, Ethiopian authorities have not shared any credible investigation findings
  • MSF warns that failure to pursue accountability deepens global impunity for attacks on medical personnel and heightens risks for humanitarian workers
