The Tigray genocide is the genocide committed during the Tigray war in Ethiopia, which began in November 2020 and formally ended in November 2022 when the Pretoria Peace Agreement was agreed to. The conflict started when the regional government of Tigray sought greater autonomy, prompting a military intervention by the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) and its allies, including the Eritrean Defence Forces (EDF) and regional militias.
