Tigray. The Ethiopian border region has been at war since November of 2020. It’s a complicated conflict with multiple sides, accusations of ethnic cleansing, and decades of history. It’s a war filled with unimaginable horrors one some observers say could make “Syria look like child’s play.”
With us today to talk about it is Sean Williams. Williams is a journalist who just returned from the region and has written about his experience there in GQ. The article is titled The human cost of the Tigray conflict: ‘We are in constant fear.’ It’s a stunning piece of reporting that weaves the history of the region into a tale of the human cost of the conflict.
He’s also the co-host of the excellent Underworld Pod, a show about the worldwide phenomenon of organized crime.
