About Ethiopian Conflict Watch
Ethiopian Conflict Watch is an independent conflict-monitoring and documentation initiative dedicated to recording and presenting information about armed conflict, civilian casualties, displacement, human rights violations, and destruction of property and infrastructure across Ethiopia.
Our mission is to promote truth, justice, accountability, transparency, and public awareness through systematic documentation of conflict-related incidents. We aim to preserve credible information about civilian suffering and contribute to efforts to prevent impunity.

- Document civilian harm — Record deaths, injuries, displacement, human rights violations, and destruction of civilian property and infrastructure.
- Promote justice and accountability — Preserve credible evidence that may support independent investigations and lawful accountability processes.
- Combat impunity — Increase awareness of documented abuses so serious violations are not ignored or forgotten.
- Monitor incidents nationwide — Track incidents across all Ethiopian regions without discrimination.
- Strengthen evidence-based reporting — Identify sources, distinguish verified information from allegations, and correct records when new evidence emerges.
- Visualize conflict patterns — Present maps, regional comparisons, charts, and timelines of reported incidents.
- Respect affected communities — Document civilian experiences with dignity, sensitivity, and attention to safety.
- Advance peace and prevention — Support informed discussion and efforts to prevent future atrocities.
Our Commitment
We are committed to truth, justice, accountability, impartiality, and civilian protection. We document reports without discrimination based on ethnicity, religion, region, or political affiliation. Inclusion of an allegation does not establish guilt or constitute a legal finding.
Every victim deserves recognition. Every violation deserves scrutiny. Justice and accountability are essential to lasting peace.
