Tigray War: photographic dataset recorded in the aftermath of the December 2020 battles and drone attacks in Werkamba

<p>The Tigray war (Ethiopia) lasted from 4 November 2020 to 2 November 2022, when a Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA) came into existence. One year later, the CoHA is not fully implemented, there are enormous food shortages in Werkamba, but at least there is no more active warfare.</p><p>We can now publish a series of photographs taken at Werkamba (13°44'N, 39°E) and its environs, as soon as the Ethiopian and Eritrean armies had left the town, to engage warfare with the TDF (Tigray Defence Forces) in other fronts. For some weeks there were no military in Werkamba, and the residents who had fled found their town back in ruins, including killed civilians lying on the street.</p><p>Hence we have to warn the reader that some shocking imagery is ahead in this dataset that contains evidence of the horror of warfare.</p>
