Hello, and welcome to the Silent Voices of Tigray podcast.
Today, we are honored to have Mariana, a French documentary maker and investigative journalist who has spent the last five years covering Africa with the French team based in Dakar. Committed to uncovering hidden truths, her latest documentary exposes the harrowing experiences of Tigrayan survivors of mass sexual violence during the war’s siege. You can watch her documentary here: https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/120675-000-A/arte-reportage/
Her work is supported by the bravery of Meseret Hadush and Mulu Tesfaye, two women who risked everything to break the silence on weaponized rape—used as a tool of war by Ethiopian government forces, Eritrean soldiers, and Amhara Fano militia.
This interview is conducted by Goitom, a Data Science Master’s student from London.
