Images of Ethiopian television cameraman Hailu Legesse clinging firmly onto his ENG camera in a battle zone at the height of the Ethiopia-Eritrea war form an integral part of Ethiopia’s media history.
A bullet pierced through the camera and killed Hailu, with two of his other colleagues, Wasihun Gebre and Zewdu Tilahun, in the 1999 attack.
