Getty Images Photo journalist exposes dishonesty of The Guardian over off-target caption

Addis Ababa, April 25, 2022 (FBC) – Getty Images Photographer Jemal Countess has exposed dishonesty of the Guardian after the later used a photo he took at Sekota, Amhara Region to illustrate alleged situation in Tigray Region.

The changes to the caption in recent publications are dishonest.

An American Journalist Ann Garrison also debunked the dishonesty of The Guardian in recent comment on the issue.

One picture can tell a 1000 words, or a 1000 lies. I was with Getty photographer Jemal Countess when he took this photo at a Sekota, Amhara Region IDP camp for Amhara fleeing TPLF. The Guardian is using it to illustrate a Tigray "ethnic cleansing" story based on HRW/AI's report. pic.twitter.com/HGyBMWapB2
