Victim of Acid Attack Ethiopian Mom in Bangkok with Severe InjurySeptember 2, 2017 - Atsede Nigussiem, 26, was at home in Tigrai, Ethiopia, when she opened the door to estranged partner Haimanot Kahsai, 29, on July 15, when she was attacked with acid leaving her in agony as their five-year-old son Hannibal Kahsai slept inside. After the attack, Atsede ran screaming into the street for help from neighbours while Kahsai fled into the night. She eats and drinks with a straw and spends all day 'crying non stop' - one of the few things she can still do. He then returned unexpectedly and launched the unprovoked acid attack after turning up unannounced at 11pm on July 15. Atsede was rushed to hospital where doctors gave her emergency care for wounds on her face, chest, hands and legs.
