<![CDATA[Mankon : Langaa Research and Publishing CIG, [2024] Abstract: In this third book in the series on the Tigray War (2020-2022), the focus shifts to the devastating consequences of the siege and communication blackout imposed during the war, which plunged the region into a 'digital black hole'. The war's invisible nature-at a time when international support was most crucial-posed immense challenges for researchers, humanitarian organisations, and healthcare workers trying to address the growing crisis. The extreme assault on Tigray's healthcare system during the war is highlighted, with Eritrea identified as a major perpetrator, able to commit atrocities with impunity due to its hidden role. Despite these hardships, this book also illuminates the remarkable courage and resilience of the people of Tigray. It explores how, in the face of adversity, they remained focused, committed, and innovative, developing new ways to stay connected and communicate, even in isolation. Through these stories of agency, the book sheds light on the ingenuity and creativity that emerged in the midst of profound hardship, demonstrating the unyielding spirit of the people of Tigray.

<![CDATA[Mankon : Langaa Research and Publishing CIG, [2024] Abstract: The Tigray War (2020&#8211;2022) left a deep and lasting impact not only on Tigray, but also on the wider Horn of Africa. In this second book in a three-part series, the authors examine the devastation wrought by the war on Tigray&#8217;s cultural heritage and identity. The deliberate destruction of ancient cultural sites and the assault on the Tigrayan people&#8217;s identity have fueled a desire for greater autonomy among the people of Tigray to protect their future. Through the lens of Panarchy, this book explores how the war&#8217;s effects extend far beyond Tigray, reshaping the dynamics of the entire region. Crucially, it uncovers Eritrea&#8217;s secret role in the conflict, which was deliberately concealed by Ethiopia. Eritrean forces were implicated not only in atrocities, but also in the use of particularly cruel and inhumane sexual violence, intended to break the spirit of the Tigrayan people and erase Tigray as an ethnic and cultural group. This ethnographic research, conducted in collaboration with universities inside and outside Ethiopia, reveals the profound transformations caused by the war, with consequences that will reverberate for years to come. It sheds light on the war&#8217;s long- term impact and highlights the urgent need for international attention on the challenges faced by Tigray and the wider region.
