Human-Wildlife conflict in Kenya-for the FT

I’m very happy to be the winner of the Picture of the Year 2022, organized by UNICEF Germany, with this photo I took during the coverage we did with AFP on the conflict in Tigray.

A photo of our work in Ethiopia with AFP received the Gran Prix Varenne 2022 in the category photo.
