Adulis Review

Evidence-based reviews of media claims about Eritrea and the Horn of Africa

The lead fact check

Case AR-2025-001 · example

Does the report cited for the ‘more than 1,000 affected’ figure actually contain it?

Claim · Example Outlet2025-03-04Archived ✓

An official report published this month found that more than 1,000 people were affected by the incident, according to officials familiar with its findings.

Our finding

Case AR-2025-001

Verdict

Unsupported

The article attributes the figure to an official report, but the report it links to gives no aggregate number. We found no other published source for it. That does not show the figure is wrong, only that the source cited does not support it.

Analysis

All analysis

How we work

  1. 01

    Quoted, not paraphrased

    Every claim is reproduced word for word, with archived copies of the original so it cannot quietly disappear.

  2. 02

    Evidence you can open

    Each finding links to the documents, footage and statements it rests on. If we cannot show it, we do not rely on it.

  3. 03

    Outlets get the last word

    Before and after publication we ask the outlet to respond, and we record whether it corrected, defended or ignored the request.

  4. 04

    Our errors, in public

    When we get something wrong we say so in a dated entry on our corrections log.
