Ethiopia's government has revoked the accreditation of three Reuters journalists after the agency published an investigative report on Ethiopia's involvement in training forces for the Sudanese civil war.
Ethiopian authorities have taken the controversial step of revoking the accreditation of three Reuters journalists, following a report by the agency that alleged Ethiopia was secretly training armed forces participating in the civil war in neighboring Sudan. The revocation occurred just as the Ethiopian Media Authority (EMA) announced that it would not renew the journalists' credentials, which further restricts their ability to report on significant events, including the ongoing African Union summit in Addis Ababa. This action has raised serious concerns among press freedom advocates.
