Ethiopia’s press freedom crisis: Arrests, exile of Journalists intensify amid political turmoil
Press freedom has always been a source of concern in Ethiopia (Photo: Innocence Project)By Million Beyene @MillionBeyeneAddis Abeba – For decades, Ethiopia has been closely scrutinized by international organizations advocating for journalists’ rights. A global leader in press freedom and press protection, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), has consistently highlighted the deteriorating press freedom in Ethiopia while documenting multiple press freedom violations, including the arrests of numerous journalists. Press freedom advocates argue that such injustices indicate that the government’s motive behind these arrests may stem from dissatisfaction with certain journalistic viewpoints rather than actual criminal activities. After being accused of terrorism, imprisoned, and subsequently released, Tewodros chose exile, citing “government harassment” as the main reason for his decision. “This is why most domestic media leans towards entertainment while many foreign-based media prioritize political coverage,” he argued.

Ngannou staggered Fury early in the fourth, but Fury stayed on his feet and the rest of the round was fairly even after that.
