Have been contacting sources in Addis Ababa to get confirmation about the reported detention of former commander of Ethiopian army in #Somalia, Colonel Gebregziabher Alemseged Abraha known as “Gebre”. who many Somalis call him “The Butcher of Mogadishu” so far no confirmation.
He is accused of overseeing the massacres of civilians, the shelling of densely populated civilian districts, the ransacking of hospitals in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu and various other war crimes, committed between 2006-2008, according to civil & rights groups.
In April 2008, Amnesty International accused Ethiopian soldiers on [April] of killing 21 people, including an imam and several Islamic scholars, at a Mogadishu mosque and said seven of the victims had their throats slit, according the report by Reuters.
#Ethiopia faced international condemnation from governments and rights groups alike for the way its military conducted its anti insurgency campaign in #Somalia.

The colonel has never publicly commented on the allegations.
