Tghat is a Tigray news site known for reporting on the Tigray War.[1][2][3]

Tghat describes its creation during the Tigray War as motivated by communication blocks and the lack of reporting on "Tigrayan collective national sentiment, and the atrocities committed upon Tigrayans".[4]

Editorship

France 24 describes the Tghat editorial group as "Tigrayan activists living abroad".[1] Meron Gebreananaye describes herself as a United Kingdom-based PhD student and one of the Tghat editors.[5] Gebrekirstos Gebreselassie Gebremeskel (aka Gebrekirstos G. Gebremeskel[6]) states that he is an Amsterdam-based researcher who manages Tghat, and is described by Al Jazeera English as a researcher and manager of Tghat.[7][8] The editorial group includes several university-based researchers.[9]

Coverage

As of 2022, Tghat reporting is focussed on the Tigray War.[3] Tghat describes its role as "documenting civilian casualties, the destruction of civilian infrastructure, hate campaigns, and providing perspectives and analyses on the war on Tigray".[9]

Tghat's report on the Debre Abbay massacre on 12 January 2021[2] and its publication of video footage of the massacre in early February were followed by The Daily Telegraph on 19 February 2021 and by France 24 on 10 March 2021.[1][10]
