All were killed during the attacks on Amhara in Mai Kadra from November 6 through 10th. According to the mayor of Mai Kadra, Charu Hagos and Abrihu Fantahun, head of the Kebele 01 administrative area, the mass graves contain the remains of over 1,300 ethnic Amharas killed during the premeditated ethnic cleansing of Ethnic Amharas by the Samri TPLF Youth Group, TPLF militia and local Tigrayan police from November 6 to November 10, 2021. Over the course of the 4 days starting on November 6, the most violent of those days being November 9–10, Samri youth from several towns in Tigray, in addition to TPLF militia and local police, killed farm workers on farms owned by TPLF affiliated farmer/investors and retired military leaders and day laborers before moving onto Mai Kadra itself conducting door to door searches for ethnic Amharas while targeting businesses already marked as belonging to Amharas. Most victims were slashed or hacked while victims who survived the initial attacks with bladed weapons were shot to death. The dead were found in the streets, in ditches, in holes dug by TPLF officials and strewn throughout the farmlands where they worked. As of the date of this filing, remains of those murdered are still being discovered in and around the city of Mai Kadra.

According to interviews conducted in recent days with several dozen victims, witnesses and local officials, around 1,300 ethnic Amharas were killed during a series of attacks by the Samri TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front) Youth Group, TPLF militia and local Tigrayan police from November 6 to November 10, 2021.

Over the course of four days, Samri youth from several towns in Tigray, in addition to TPLF militia and local police, killed farm workers on farms owned by TPLF-affiliated farmer/investors before moving onto Mai Kadra itself, conducting door-to-door searches for ethnic Amharas. Most victims were slashed or hacked; many victims who survived the initial attacks with bladed weapons were shot to death.

The violence occurred during a wider conflict between the Ethiopian government and the TPLF that ignited on November 4, 2020, when forces aligned with the TPLF attacked the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) Northern Command headquarters in Mekelle, the capital city of the Tigray region.
