atrocities

Like a nonfiction novel, Keefe’s book traces five decades of thorny history from the perspective of real-life characters, including the notorious Price sisters, Marian and Dolours, I.R.A. militants whose prison hunger strikes made front-page news in the 1970s, and Gerry Adams, the political leader who helped bring peace to Northern Ireland but has been accused of participating in atrocities committed during the height of the conflict.

It is not the first time footage of alleged atrocities by government-affiliated fighters have circulated online.

The junta-led Sahelian nations of Burkina, Mali and Niger have all turned to Russia for support in recent years in deals that have failed to improve security and in some cases resulted in atrocities against civilians.

The county's armed forces have been accused of atrocities and extrajudicial killings.

But the atrocities described in the report have not ceased: For example, the stun grenade dropped on a polio vaccination clinic during a humanitarian pause, wounding several children.
