Most journalists from Ethiopia got into the field specialising in economics, politics or human rights. None of us expected to cover war crimes to the extent that we have over the past 5 years. War reporting experience or OSINT investigative skills becoming mandatory in the Horn of Africa beat, is a tragedy in itself.

My probe of another Ethiopian army massacre + visual investigation will drop in a day or two. The country's increasingly grim war with Amhara Fano rebels continues.

@ZekuZelalem frankly, I think it would be nice if journalists would specialize in journalism.

There are far too many journalists speaking outside of their knowledge on those other topics instead of just reporting what actual experts say.

And it really does a disservice to the world.

Just one insignificant bit of feedback about how journalists should conduct themselves if they want to maintain public credibility.
