Gregory's ServerThe only thing we were unable to do this time was humanize the victims by adding names & faces with their stories. They live in the warzone. Putting their names and faces out would have invited instant retaliation by a brutal government. Doing so was impossible this time, perhaps in the future.
FYI...it's the second time I feature testimony from this massacre's survivors. Two of them were featured in a story earlier this year I did for Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail.
So yeah, that's the story of the cover:
"A war crime happened here." Really didn't need much explaining. The people in the picture, are dressed in traditional Ethiopian attire, white shawls. That's what we wear at celebrations. The dead were returning from a baby's baptism, and were all from two or three families. The picture depicts the moment before their white shawls were soaked in blood.
