The 36-year-old journalist, who heads the publication's East Africa section, had lived in Ethiopia between 2013 and 2017 and was "known to the Ethiopia Media Authority", which oversees media accreditations in the country. Ethiopian authorities did not respond to AFP requests for comment. Ethiopia has expelled several foreign journalists since the end of 2020.
