Another huge compliment to @flyethiopian that India and Pakistan fought over hiring former ET CEO Tewolde Gebremariam, with India winning. Not only is India getting a phenomenally talented CEO, but also one with knowledge of ET's incredible system.

There is an ongoing threat of genocide and other mass atrocities in #Ethiopia.
In April 2026, @genocidewatch published an Ethiopia Country Report. They have determined that Ethiopia is currently at:
‼️Stage 3: Discrimination
‼️Stage 5: Organization
‼️Stage 10: Denial
This determination is based on violence against civilians in ongoing regional conflicts, escalating tensions, and the continued denial of atrocities committed in #Tigray.

Ethiopian authorities deal latest blow to press freedom by permanently suspending 2 @dwnews journalists covering the Amhara & Tigray regions, broadly alleging violations of country’s laws. The govt should reverse the decision, end its attacks on the media. https://t.co/a5ttHSgVUP

#Tigray5Years#RememberTigray
What a day!
People who know me know perfectly well that Tigray started as a mere journalistic interest and turned into something personal, a project that I love very much and that goes beyond taking pictures.

War in #Tigray traumatically violates women's dignity
An award-winning exhibition in #Rome captures how amid the often-forgotten, but dramatic war in the Tigray region, women are facing grave violations of human dignity, especially from sexual violence being used as a weapon of war.
Women's human dignity continues to be violated amid the ongoing war in Ethiopia's Tigray region, with sexual violence employed as a weapon of war.
As documented in a recent report written by L'Osservatore Romano's Greta Giglio, Cinzia Canneri, winner of the World Press Photo International Photojournalism Award in the Africa – Long-Term Projects category, for her photo reportage “Women’s Bodies as Battlefields,” captured, or at least provided a glimpse of, the daily horrors these voiceless women are faced to endure.
Ms. Canneri's exhibition is open in central Rome's Palazzo delle Esposizioni until 8 June and documents the harrowing experiences of Eritrean and Tigrayan women subjected to sexual violence in conflict zones.
The war, which began in Tigray in northern Ethiopia in late 2020 between Ethiopian federal forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, triggered famine, and devastated local infrastructure.
Ms. Canneri’s exhibition reminds the world of the tragic consequences on women from the war, countless numbers of whom bear on their skin the marks of violence that have turned their bodies into battlefields.

#Ethiopia: Deprived of economic opportunities, thousands of #Tigray’s youth migrate abroad only to face exploitation, torture by traffickers
Born and raised in Tigray’s Central Zone, Alexander Kidu, 29, and Mareg Abreha, 28, symbolize the plight of thousands of young people forced to migrate due to limited economic opportunities in their war-torn homeland. Their families, already grappling with poverty, now face unbearable anguish as the two endure brutal mistreatment by human traffickers in #Libya. Both Alexander and Mareg are detained, with traffickers demanding a ransom of 1.3 million birr each—an impossible sum for their impoverished relatives.
Alexander’s mother, Letegeorgis Micheal, described her despair after receiving videos of her son being savagely beaten. “They have called and demanded a ransom of 1.3 million birr. This leaves me with nothing but despair,” she told Addis Standard. Similarly, Mareg’s uncle, Tekeste Tesfamariam, shared his struggles upon learning of his nephew’s situation. "They sent me videos of him being brutally beaten and demanded a ransom—a sum I cannot afford," Tekeste lamented.
The rising trend of irregular migration from Tigray is attributed to the region’s staggering unemployment, compounded by the economic devastation of war. At least 32,000 young people are estimated to leave the region illegally each year, according to Hayish Subagadis, Head of Tigray’s Youth Affairs Bureau. Experts warn that without significant reforms and efforts to create sustainable livelihoods, Tigray’s youth will remain vulnerable to exploitation and life-threatening risks.
