Mitiku entered into a creative conversation with the painter and storyteller Heruy Aregawi Gebremariam. Working on themes developed from Mitikuโs research, Heruy produced a series of oil paintings that vividly speak of Tigrayโs pain.
"Itโs both heartbreaking and devastating because there are a lot of children, including very young. The youngest weโve had with burn injuries is a baby of four months".

We are seeing a lot of starvation deaths in Tigray right now, but the

criteria for famine requires an extremely high level of morality. If 50K people starved this month in Virginia, it would not yet be a famine.
In Tigray, famine means 50 deaths per hour.

Unhelpful. Rape is not everywhere used as a weapon of a war. Suggesting that it is is misleading, and perpetuates the notion that is an โinevitableโ feature of conflict (& which can diminish efforts to hold specific perpetrators and groups accountable.)
