Toronto – Citizen reports emerging on social media indicate that militia forces, armed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s administration to combat Fano forces in the region, shot dead Elsabet Teshome – a dermatologist at Debre Markos referral hospital.
What is confirmed from different social media sources as of now is that she was shot with multiple bullets by gov’t militia gunmen for allegedly supporting Fano forces.
Sources added that she was mother to twin children.
Some sources say she was killed on Monday around 4 p.m. along the road to the stadium in the city near Abma branch of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. The Militia forces were stopping Bajaja and searching for suspected fano forces. She was reportedly shot in the head.
Borkena will share more details as it becomes available what hospital sources have to say about it.
Reputable human rights organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have released extensive rights abuses in the Amhara region by extrajudicial killings and drone strikes against unarmed civilians. On January 29, 2024 at least 50 civilians were dragged to the streets of Merawi – a town in a range of about 35 kilometers to the region’s capital Addis Ababa- and executed them.
As of now, government officials from the Amhara regions or the Federal government have not remarked on the execution of Elsabet Teshome in Debre Markos
