Farmer Nega Chekole, 30, a Tigrayan refugee from Humera, touches his stitched wound in Hamdayet, eastern Sudan, near the border with Ethiopia, on March 14, 2021. He says he was shot by militias before the war broke out on Nov. 4. The atrocities have been seared into the skin. It’s often the only evidence at hand to show the world. Now Tigrayans by the thousands take shelter within sight of the homeland they left behind in northern Ethiopia, some of them told to leave or be killed. (AP Photo/Nariman El-Mofty) NM901 NM901
