   • Zecharias Zelalem

   Congratulations to our very own @ZekuZelalem for being short listed for the Martin Adler Prize in the #RoryPeckAwards, honoring a local freelance journalist whose work has made a significant contribution to international newsgathering.

   Zecharias's journalism has been instrumental in bringing awareness to the public about the genocide in Tigray that killed at the very least 700,000 people and left hundreds of thousands of women as victims of rape as a weapon of war.

     During the communications black out, he used satellite image analysis to uncover Eritrean refugee camps that were intentionally burnt. To this day, 70,000 Eritreans are unaccounted for.

     Zecharias continues to uncover drone massacres in Ethiopia, by the government. Take a look at this cover story on @thecontinent.
