Civilians were killed by Tigray forces on two farms on the outskirts of the town.
Between 6 and 9 November 2020, approximately 17 civilians were reportedly killed and 3 were injured, in what witnesses described as ethnic based attacks by Tigrayan forces against two different farms in Maikadra, attacks which included the burning of their sesame harvest. According to the Joint Investigation by OHCHR and EHRC, the civilian farm workers were deliberately killed, including with machetes and knives, while one farm worker died in crossfire between Tigrayan forces and allied armed militia on one side, and two Amhara militia who guarded the farm.
