The news coming out of Tigray continues to be heartbreaking and I can’t help but think of the individuals who are caught up in this latest conflict. The scale of atrocities has been slow in coming out since access to international observers has been severely limited. The most alarming of these reports was a recent one by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff members attesting to extra-judicial killings taking place on a road from Mekelle.

I edited a small set of images from a trip in April 2010. I happened to be there for the arrivals of the first Spring rains.
