Tghat is a Tigray news site known for reporting on the Tigray War.

Creation and editorial line

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".

Editorship

France 24 describes the Tghat editorial group as "Tigrayan activists living abroad". Meron Gebreananaye describes herself as a United Kingdom-based PhD student and one of the Tghat editors. Gebrekirstos Gebremeskel states that he is an Amsterdam-based researcher who manages Tghat.

Coverage

Tghat's reports on incidents in the Tigray War are cited by academic sources, including the April 2021 Starving Tigray – How armed conflict and mass atrocities have destroyed an Ethiopian Region's economy and food system and are threatening famine and the July 2021 Tigray: Atlas of the humanitarian situation. Tghat's report on the Debre Abbay massacre on 12 January 2021 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. In May 2021, during a discussion in which the war crimes in the Tigray War were compared to the Armenian genocide which occurred during World War I, the Armenian Weekly referred to Tghat's report on the Zalambessa massacre as one of three sources that estimated that the civilian death toll of the massacre ranged from 56–72.

Tghat's Amharic original and English translation of Ethiopian prime minister Abiy Ahmed's well-known 18 July 2021 parliamentary speech, in which he referred to the Tigray People's Liberation Front as being "cancer" (or "incurable disease") and being "like 'weeds' to be 'uprooted'", was used as a source in genocide research.

In June 2021, BBC News showed the results of the airstrike on a market place in Togoga with Tghat photography. The South African Independent Online referred to Tghat footage of Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) personnel captured during Operation Alula in late June 2021.

Casualty recording

According to Associated Press (AP), Tghat's victim list is compiled by Desta Haileselassie, a Tigrayan living in Stockholm. AP randomly selected 30 of the named victims and judged the information to be authentic after contacting the victims' families and friends.
