By Giulia ParaviciniNAIROBI - Ethiopian police have arrested a French journalist on suspicion of "conspiracy to create chaos", his employer said on Monday. Antoine Galindo was arrested last Thursday while on assignment in the capital Addis Ababa, the Africa Intelligence publication said in a statement. The French embassy in Addis Ababa also did not respond to a request for comment. Africa Intelligence said Galindo "has been suspected of 'conspiracy to create chaos in Ethiopia' and was brought before a judge on 24 February." The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists says at least eight Ethiopian journalists have been detained since August.
