A mound of stones marks the grave of three individuals on April 08, 2022 in Welkait, Ethiopia. The three individuals had been murdered in the town of Adriment during the TPLF occupation. During the TPLF occupation of the region a total of five individuals who had been murdered on a hill on the outskirts of town were dumped at this location and buried in a mass grave. They were members of the Welkait-Tegede community who were murdered because of their ethnicity. The nearby torture camp at Gehennab began operating 37 years ago in 1985 when the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) occupied Welkait as they fought against the Derg Regime before gaining control of the area in 1991. Welkait was Amhara land for as much as 1000 years prior to 1991 when the region was annexed and incorporated into Tigray by the TPLF. The discovery of multiple mass graves and extermination camps has been taking place over the past year (2021-2022) after the TPLF was pushed out of Welkait.
