Members of the Ethiopian National Defense Force who were captured by Tigray forces gather inside a prison as prisoners of war, in Mekele, capital of the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia, July 6, 2021. Debretsion Gebremichael, Tigray’s president, said more than 6,000 Ethiopian soldiers and officers had been detained. “We are committed to keep them well as long as they are with us,” he said. “And after a while, yes, our plan is ... they have to be free, wherever they want.” For the prisoners of war, many of whom the Tigray leaders have said will be released, conditions are challenging because of the destruction that Ethiopian and allied forces waged for months against almost all health centers across Tigray. (AP Photo)
