Ethiopia: Journalism under anti-terrorism law

Ethiopia: Journalism under anti-terrorism law

Source: Al Jazeera

How the US 'war on terror' has provided cover for laws that are being used to silence dissident journalists.

When the Paris-based media watchdog group, Reporters Without Borders released its annual Press Freedom Index, few were surprised that Ethiopia had dropped 11 places to 137.

Journalists in the country have never truly been free to report however developments in the region over the last few years have had a detrimental effect on the media environment.

With the disputed 2005 general election, the continued conflict with separatist groups and the spectre of the Arab Spring arriving in the country – the government in Addis Abba has been cracking down on the media

And one of its most effective tools is a vague, far reaching anti-terrorism law that has sentenced at least 11 journalists to harsh prison terms.

In 2009, former Prime Minister Meles Zenawi's government passed the anti-terrorism proclamation. In August last year Zenawi died but the legislation survived under his successor Hailemaraiam Desalegn.

Much of the reporting on Ethiopia these days is done at a safe distance. According to media watchdogs, 49 journalists fled the country between 2007 and 2012 to get away from a government that does not want to talk about this issue. The Listening Post made several interview requests but were denied.

as the saying goes back home, " TELBA BINCHACHA BE ANND MUQECHA",
All are crying for one thing and one thing only, to get access in the big Ethiopian market with popularity, but by selling lies.
Our govt is doing only their business of protecting the country from all these hayenas, who are ready to devour Ethiopia by any means and chance they get. No way jose!

Yes Seleshi, the so called Ethiopian government has no tolerance for criticism.

They can't continue terrorizing the whole nation forever and they can't deny the people their basic right for freedom of informaltion.The truth will come out.

Thank you Aljazeera, for bringing this timely report. Hats off to Seleshi and others like him who fights the system from within Ethiopia!

No sympathy for the Swedish journalist who by all accounts were inflaming a region that is terrorized by ONLF, a terrorist and illegal organization.

In fact there are no similarities between the Ethiopian and Swedish journalists.

The Ethiopian journalists are victims of TPLF, another terrorist and illegal organization that is operating in day light in Addis Ababa.

We all must do our part to round up and arrest all TPLF members that have infiltrated the government and bring them to justices for the killings, lootings, treason, human rights violation of citizens, ethnic divisions, to name a few!!!

No crime shall go unpunished!!!

Ye Addis Zemen Leboch,

They are protecting their looting spree torritories from other scavangers than shielding the people of Ethiopia. If you are Tigrayan you are the blind man who betray Tigray. Luqsoh Endet Neber your mercenary Eritrean Listro Meles death???

For me it was the happiest day in my entire life and am waiting for Diqala Mohammod Yinus to follow his master fellow Deqala Meles and it will be my best day after the Meles Merdo.

I usually read what I post to make sure it is practical. Some here should do the same because people are not "telba." You can not kill and jail people to hold on to power and not be called a terrorist.

It does no one any good to just go over and over the same problem with no end insight for a solution. The Tplf regime is going to trample on the rights of our people under this BS law of terrorism. Whats new? This leadership does not understand the continued repression of the citizens will only lead to its end. In other words it did not learn from the Derg after a prolonged war that took the Derg out, the in coming turned out to be not much better than the out going. As a seeker of change through dialogue, I find it sad to accept the fact the only way to reach these guys @ Arat Killo is through their own means to an end.. violence. The overthrow of this thuggish regime by any means is justified.

OMG!!!! Will somebody please burn that blue shit off of the ETHIOPIAN flag..? come on!!!

Aljezira is a terrorist media organization advocating radical Islam movement globaly, and need to be blocked in Ethiopia. All media outlets at this time should not be considered as a free and fair information sources. therefore, media outlets such as Aljazira and most of Diaspora Ethiopian media outlets are a source of misinformation. their disadvantage is more than their advantage. I do not have sympathy to them if the government take measure to block them. Bravo! Ethiopian government.

The number one enemy of TPLF/woyanes is democracy. The sound/look of it it-self terrifies them to death.

On the other hand, the only hope/future for the Ethiopian people rests in democracy.

How/why is the desire of the Ethiopian people and that of woyanes/TPLF bunch is diametrically opposite?

It does not take a lot to figure out that. In order to legitimize and perpetuate their authority/hegemony over Ethiopia, they have to control the economy, politics, security, military, media etc, etc illegally by the jungle law they crafted and mastered while they were in the bush.

The jungle law works perfectly for them. They are above it and use it to suppress the democratic and fundamental rights of the Ethiopian people. It even sickens them to see when their dysfunctional (fake) constitution is followed by law abiding citizens.

The Ethiopian people have been pushed and tossed around by woyanes for far too long. It is now time for the Ethiopian people to push back with full force until woyanes' resistance for the rule of is broken.

Fighting back with an equal force against a repressive regime that uses excessive force is very natural and legitimate. It is natural/inborn and follows Sir Issac Newton's third law of physics, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

It is time to at least revisit our natural laws and act accordingly!!!

It is time to fight back the enemy with an equal or more force.

The War between the Arabs and Israel is going to move to Ethiopia vs all arabs soon, mark my words.
Look how our people are suffering crossing borders to Arab countries. Thanks to woyane bigmouthing, and belittling Arabs, every now and then woyane is to create a fire that would eat all Ethiopians alive from Egypt, Sudan, Somalia, Djibouti and Saudi Arabia in one and same day! We will be cooked like fried chicken in between, for our hypocricy and ugly attitude over the moslem Ethiopians and all our moslems neighbors.

Our young are humiliated, tortured by the Arabs. Sad and disgusting.
Woyane will pay the price of all the crimes. Ethiopia is accomodating foreigners while her people spread allover and suffer. Noone to save Ethiopia No more!

Dear Mamo,

To begin with, you used Albert Einstein's saying partially without giving credit to the originator of the idea. This is plagiarism, a crime committed against intellectual property.

Why mention all those countries who went through or are going through their specific problems for the sake of scaring Ethiopians? Ethiopia is not Rwanda, Pakistan, etc etc. How does your scare mongering help Ethiopians while we are fighting for the rule of law and democratic governance?

You labored a lot equating ESAT to Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) and others. Is this an extension of the scare mongering tactic repeatedly told/used by the dead PM? Thank goodness, Ethiopians were spared from that awful woyane/TPLF plan to make Ethiopia Rwanda or any other country on their list.

Scare mongering could work, but not always and all the time. Ethiopians know what ESAT is all about and stands for. Instead of parroting the same old scare mongering, you could do Ethiopians big favor by telling woyanes to stop ethnic/religious cleansing (a crime against humanity) that is going in our country as you are reading this response.

Now look Mamo: Whose stupidity is without boundary now? Yours or any nameless Ethiopian? Are you not consolidating what Albert Einstein said against your own stupidity?

Please give us a break!!!

May wisdom and rationality outlive human stupidity!!

With our perseverance, Ethiopia and Ethiopians will survive!!

Aram Tegray. You don't even know what telba looks like, since you grow up eating BELES CHGARAM Tegray.

These BANDA Tegrays would be were they are if it is not for the US, Aram hulu. CHIGRAM Tegray hulu trying to make TPLF and WOYANE some exceptional metical power like Essayas and his Bandits use to talk about Eriteria. The same is true to all these ARAM Tegrays, if the US do not provide them with money and support they are CHIGARAM nobodies. What we Ethiopian in the diaspora are no focusing is to stop the US aid to Ethiopia, cut their blood line and then we will see how smart they are.

Indeed the woyanes should be blamed for ¨CRIMES AGAINST STUPIDITY¨ For oppenning 30+ universities in A country that it´s only pride was 3000 yrs of independence ,yet did not move an inch..except shilela & Fukera...the monotonous____¨ባሳየው ጀግንነት ባድዋም በማይጨው___ኤረ ገዳይ__ዘራፍ__ቆራጭ...idiotic slogans..by changing Ethiopia´s economic status & reputation from Poor,hungry, famine stricken..that belched ጎረድ ጎረድ after eating aዘይት እንኳን በሌለው የተቀቀለ ሽሮ...to a country that is transforming in a super-sonic growth only matched by BRIC (Brazil,Russia,India ,China)....
Now, as an Eritrean ,it is not my position to prescribe you a leader or govt....But since you are holding Eritrean land (badme)..it is my right to give my view on the blind hatred you guys exhibit towards eachother..If your country is on fire,as a neighbour I will suffer the flames..that is not of my making..I have enough stupid people here that I need a sound neighbours.Blame your govt. or do whatever you want with it..but, do not try to mislead us what is mathematically fact.

Based on its source there are two kinds of criticism one is from a friend and the other is from an opponent.When you get criticism from a friend it is lesson so act to correct it.But if you get criticism from opponent that is reward,in other word it means you are performing good or you nailed them well. The above all criticism are reward for you so Keep up your good work. Don't give them a shit.FYI all of them are from one ashole so ignore him.Friendly advice

Hey Mario, my fellow Ethiopian. It does not take Einstein's brain to see the stupidity of some humans. I made my own observation and made my own conclusion. And Yes I am trying to scare you and your ilk in to your senses by reminding you of how low and savage you can become when you revert to Ethnic strife and blind nationalism and feed on ESAT's filth. When you feed on ethnic hatred and feed on false propaganda you will behave like a hysterical territorial baboon. What I am encouraging you to do is to calm your overheating frontal lobe, use your brain to express your thoughts, your outlook, your ideas in a peaceful manner. DO NOT INCITE OTHERS TO KILL THE INNOCENT. I despise it. I reject it. It is stupid. This is what ESAT and many, many others are doing from the comfort of their homes in Europe and America, sometimes overtly and most of the time covertly. Look at the drama they were showing in one of the meetings recently where they were showing Tigrean accented soldiers wantonly killing the daughters and sons of poor Ethiopians. If you do not understand the message of this propaganda, your are then what?

We all know Islam kills people too and since Islam is a religion.. vuala(voila), there you have it based on fact. What is the fact you ask?

Tola, Atela (visitor),

You cannot deport the entire population of Tigray, the source of the Ethiopian civilization through the Holy City of Axum. When the Tegaru liberated Ethiopia from Mengistu Haile Mariam, master of the Red Terror, the citizens of Ethiopia welcomed the victorious Tegaru. Some individual Tegaru might have done some mistakes in governing Ethiopia, and no one is free from blundering mistakes. What you have to do is to find out those individuals who mismanaged the wealth of Ethiopia and bring them to justice.

The Tegaru are, by nature, well-disciplined and religious people who die for the love of their country. Without them, Ethiopia will be the land of Mullahs and Ayatollahs, and finally the kingdom of Mujahedeen will be established in the Christian land of Ethiopia. Then Ethiopia will enter, for the first time in her history, Jahiliyyah – a period of ignorance.

HagereEthiopia, time to face the reality on the ground before too late, political correctness is over. woyane has been busy trying to exterminate a certain ethnic group by deporting them empty handed from where their umbilical cord buried, people have to carry internal passport to show their ethnic background in public transport, etc if they apply for a job have to show their id badge to show their ethnic origin just like nazi days the Jews used to carry yellow badges, driving them out of the country by making life unbearable, therefore they have no choice but to die in Puntland, red sea, Yemen, Africa. Whereas tigre students get scholarship overseas, those tigreas want to emigrate with fake diplomatic visas and organized asylum cases by embassies. where are tigrie maids in Arab countries? it is the thing of the past. Woyanie long term agenda is expanding tigre population by intermarriage, by making life hard to those non tigires specially the Amhara and the Oromos. why do you think Keninesa Bekele had to marry to a tigre?, Haile Gebresilasse?, Teddy Afro?, Muhamoud Ahmed? etc Do you think there is no good looking oromo?

HagereEthiopia, These Aram Tegray are not Ethiopians. Anyone who think they are Tigray first and second Ethiopian is not Ethiopian. Get it? This Busbasa Tegray need to be exterminated with no mercy. We know what they are and you probably are one of them and here your are trying to act like civilized person. Go and fool someone else. This Aram Tegray have fooled the Ethiopian people for 21 years and they can go to hell. Ethiopia is much better off this BANDAS that have been a cancer for Ethiopia in the entire Ethiopian History. When I see lots of Tigrays stand up against this government for all the crime they are committing then I will be politically correct. So far there might be a handful of Tigray that are against this government based on principle. The rest are greedy bastards that got kicked out due to power and money straggle. So my friend you can say whatever you want all Tegrays are Bastard, Chigaram BANDAS that need to be push out of Ethiopia to join they Bastard brother from Eretria. Like Jews will never trust Arabs, we Ethiopian will never trust Tigrays and Eritreans, never. I am sure there are few good people from them but I will not take the exception but rather take norm. Like I said Tigray are not Ethiopians as far as I am concerned. I don't care if they all go to hell. When the day comes this Leba BANDA government is thrown into the trash then we will see how the Tegray will be treated by the rest of Ethiopians. I will promise you they will be so marginalized they will hide they Tegreaness so they can be accepted by others. They will not speak Tegrigna in public. Wait and see. 6 millions verses 80 million, we will see who will have the final laugh.

Observer, lets just say "sew hono yemayara yelem." there is a misunderstanding here. I was simply stating facts and not acting at all. If it is insults you want, I am game. But why cant we talk about our differences with respect to each others views? Except of course, "extermination" of people, in other words genocide.

Let me just say I agree with you of the disagreement you have with Tplf/Eprdf GOE. But our similarities end there. I, unlike you do not blame Tigrians for the mess Meles/Tplf created, Amhara for what Mengistu destroyed. The buck stops at those ho hold power and not the ethnic group they belong to.

In fact was not talking about being politically correct but about being totally wrong, in your case. I was saying you can not blame the whole tribe for the fak up of a few. If it is hate of the ethnic group that you reflect, you are dead wrong. If you are speaking of the few who are at Arat Kilo, rest assured nothing stays forever. They will be gone but our Tigrian brothers and sister will continue to be Ethiopian, like it or not. I know many Tigrians who are against the regime. They are at the same time, afraid of people like you who blame/accuse wrongly. I mean if you do that then all Ethiopians who are not of the tribe Mengistu is, shall hate his ethnic group? Really? Look at the German people and Hitler. Is it logical to hate all because of the acts of the few? A handful Nazi crack heads and not the German people are to blame, same as Tplf and not Tigrians. What you are doing is illogical. If it is your choice to go that way.. we will have a few shitty words, back and forth but solve nothing. Starting with the fact that I know they ARE Ethiopians. I also know it is better for Ethiopia when people like you, haters, do not get a chance at holding power. It is people who think like you the Meleses and Mengistus and Hitlers of the world are made of.. they used as you do the word "exterminate" to solve issues, it did NOT work. But look where they are today. What a shame you, the Observer failed to observe this. How about Rwanda? Did you ever read what went wrong there?

I am a proud Ethiopian of mixed heritage. You "exterminate" a Tigre, Amhara, Oromo.. you exterminate me, just as you would all true Ethiopians. By the way, what makes you think the Tigre will sit and wait for you to end him? What kind of stupid "Interahamwe" kind of shit is this? You need to get a fix on your life.. you are bitter and wrongly inclined. Adjust your baring because you are heading the wrong path. Your hate will exterminate only you. So now you know I am against genocide or those who advocate it. What next? Would you rather talk facts or start with the obscenities?

True Ethiopians do not advocate ethnic hate.

EthioMan!

Ezana,

It is impractical to assume as you do. But it is your right to do so. It is your point of view but.. it leads to the Q, 'since when did ignorance become a point of view?'
I should warn you however, that this will make you look a bit off your rockers. Frankly speaking, I do agree with you on why Tplf's GOE is not good for Ethiopia but to displace 80 million by intermarriage of 6 million is kind of crack head thinking, don't you think? I should also mention to you that I know Ethiopians never had to worry about ethnic mixing before this post of yours. I was born and raised in Addis, I know families of total mix, Oromo, Gurage, Amhara, Tigre, Hamasen.. dude some of my brothers and cousins are married to Tigre, Oromo, Ertra, Gurage and one from the Harahr Somali. Three of my cousins are half Tigre. Some of this Ezana dude, was in the time of the King and Derg.. way before woyane, proving it has been going on like.. foreva' and putting your concept in time out.

I hope this puts to rest the conspiracy theory that seems to dominate your thinking. Like the man said.. "We cant solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we did when we created them." Albert E.

Time to bring justice to Ethiopia.

The terrorist group, TPLF so far was free to kill and commit crimes all over Ethiopia and aboard including abducting and assassinating opponents and innocent people.

TPLF is the only group that is let loose to commit crimes while all other terrorist groups and Alqaieda are being haunted down and brought to justice.

TPLF treats the whole country as its private property controlling land, people's life and resources while Ethiopian nationals are treated as trespassers. Denied from having their own land, live in peace with their families and friends and have a place to live.

TPLF/EPRDF behave like a rabid dogs by disturbing every one that is not EPRDF or TPLF.

Round up and yank out all TPLF terrorist group members and their cadre accomplices.

Are you not punishing OLF, ONLF for what they are? Isnt it genocide? Dont woyane punish the Gambelas for what they are (Minorities)?
So why is it not possible to punish the people of tgray for all the crime of tgray dominated regie EPRDF/TPLF cruel deeds upon the people of Ethiopia?
Woyane calling us Derg leftovers and punish the people. Are these woyane entities really Ethiopians? I doubt it strictly.

If this is a reply to my posts pertaining to my stand against ethnohate some seem to spew here, your reply has no baring. Like I said, any group that attaches the freedom of the people to a gun toting extinct ideology of a freedom fighter.. puuulease. OLF/ONLF are, in my view, terrorists and defending the nation against armed terrorists is not genocide.

On the other hand.. for all its definitions what you seem to suggest in punishing the Tigre ethnic group, is nothing short of a suggestion of genocide.

What is happening in Gambela is a crime by the Ethiopian govt. Like it or not they are holding power @ arat kilo, hence they are the GOE. A dictatorial regime like this one will end just like the one it replaced.. take note it is NOT a Tigrian government but a bunch of hooligans with guns & even if it were, the suggestion that people are responsible for acts committed by leaders from their ethnic group is just absurd. Case and point will be the Amhara are not held responsible for atrocities committed by the previous regimes.

Your point of view is respected but it is not logical. It is impractical to blame anyone other than the group @ arat kilo.
