The Mai Kadra massacre was a massacre and ethnic cleansing carried out during the Tigray War on 9–10 November 2020 in the town of Mai Kadra in Welkait (a disputed area between the Amhara and Tigray Regions) in northwestern Ethiopia, near the Sudanese border. The victims have been described as civilians, many of whom were day laborers hailing from neighboring Amhara Region. Responsibility was attributed to a pro-Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) youth group and forces loyal to the TPLF in the EHRC-OHCHR Tigray Investigation, preliminary investigations by Amnesty International (AI), the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and the Ethiopian Human Rights Council (EHRCO), and interviews conducted in Mai Kadra by Agence France-Presse. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and EHRC reported that at least 5 Tigrayans were also killed in Mai Kadra by Amhara militas such as Fano in retaliation.
