Two Ethiopian writers in exile; two victims of the repression of freedom of speech.
Abstract: -
Expert: (quote) The government works day and night to silence journalists, bloggers and those who express their views, and to shut down those remaining private media outlets. It continues to persecute, intimidate, and arrest journalists and bloggers on false charges… writing the truth or speaking one’s own mind has become a crime in Ethiopia; and independent reporting is seen as an act of terrorism.
