What's latest on the officer who shot somebody

And the internet issue


Outrage over Ethiopia's continuing internet blackout
NetBlocks, NGO monitoring internet censorship, estimates Ethiopians lose at least $4.5m each day the internet is cut.


An internet shutdown has been in force across Ethiopia since Saturday, after a group of soldiers staged a failed coup in Amhara state, the birthplace of many of Ethiopia's emperors as well as its national language, Amharic.

The outage has frustrated citizens who rely on online services for information and for conducting business in one of sub-Saharan Africa's fastest-growing economies.

Alp Toker, executive director of NetBlocks, a nonprofit organisation that monitors internet censorship, condemned the decision to shut down the internet on the anniversary of a set of reforms that were announced by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and that aim to facilitate free speech.

"On 22 June 2018, his government declared free expression a foundational right and ordered the unblocking of over 200 websites. Instead, exactly one year later, the entire internet has been blocked and Ethiopia is digitally isolated from the world," Toker said.

at least they do takwando

Kazikazi:
Have u tried to think how the Asians have shaped the lifestyle of east Africa? From our food we eat,the way we build our buildings,the music,the appearances of some east Africans,and even the pace of our economies! Now will we say we do bad in sport for the same reasons?

Kazikazi:
Yes we do need to change.Yes you succeeded in marathon.But football remains the biggest sport in Africa and the world.we can't accept this poor form of our soccer teams.

Kazikazi:
Yes,we will do better next time.I know even u guys in Ethiopia will do much better! Sometimes I don't understand why east Africans can't do well in soccer.Any idea?

robosky02:
That's football when you under rate your opponent you get purnish for it

Nigeria also did that to brazil at atlanta olympic for underating us

Kazikazi:

TayserMahri:
What does that mean? This statement has thrown me off balance.




Its Salah please And its Uganda and Kenya Whats going on

TayserMahri:
In that case am I allowed to say 'you are a woman anyway" ? Or will it be misogyny?




I knew most Ethiopians are too preoccupied with the Coup goings-on to know whats happening elsewhere right now, esp with the shut internet. I know it was shut without asking .

Lemmi keep you abreast with the Afcon. Everything is going on well, my friend the child King Tut still lighting up the show, Tanzania have lost to everybody they have met so far including losing to the stone-hearted Kenyans, despite using every last bit of their fiber to win the game, the Super Chickens of Nigerian were beaten by a first timer (to put it more lightly thats like virgin outshining a who.re ) , Uganda are doing a great job as always, the Egyptians finally look like the uncrowned champs.

mtisTheQubit:
hi mresh..

TayserMahri:
That's why it keeps happening. If I recall a similar thing happened last year. This is not the time to mind your business.

TayserMahri:
Ok am waiting to see how he explains this one to a lady. A man explaining how he was beaten to a chic.

TayserMahri:
Nothing is new under the sun baby! You have a major problem in your politics. Now am starting to believe what Hati said that he sees no reason for the hype Ethiopia gets.

Kazikazi:
Am OK.Tz have been doing well although we were deeply hurt in football.Anyway,that's a life

TayserMahri:
Your country is still in the Coup Ages.

robosky02:

robosky02:

TayserMahri:
