Dozens of civilians killed by Ethiopian troops in Amhara conflict, says rights group

At least 45 civilians were killed in door-to-door raids by Ethiopian troops last month in the northern town of Merawi. This according to the country's human rights watchdog.
 
A pregnant woman was among those shot.
 
She later died in hospital.
 
The Ethiopian government has not commented on the killings.
 
Both the US and EU are calling for an independent investigation.
 
It is one of the worst episodes of violence in the Amhara region since last August, when powerful local Fano militias began a rebellion against the government's plans to disarm them.
