One of the Tigrayan women I admire is @AfroDendro, she has won multiple awards and distinction in the area of forestry, climate and agro-industry. Even during the hardest of times she kept on winning these awards. There is so much more to her work.
100 percent of children and young people that were suppose to be attending education haven't seen a class room in close to three years, infact most have seen their classes and health facilities destroyed and lost have their homes and loved once.
Mirages or Sightings? Illusions or visions? Promises or deceipts? Hard to tell where things are going… but, past sufferings in Tigray await accountability and the future cries for clarity and real promise…
A couple of days before the capture of Mekelle end of 2020, me and my childhood friends met in a cafe with lots of uncertainties and more importantly as a form of goodbye if we don’t make it alive. We didn’t utter the word goodbye, but in our hearts we were all fearing 1/n
