Analysis: #Journalism under pressure: New report documents escalating threats to media freedom in #Ethiopia
A report released in February this year warns that journalists in Ethiopia continue to operate in an increasingly hostile environment marked by physical danger, legal pressure, and expanding digital surveillance, despite years of official reform pledges.
The findings are detailed in the Annual Assessment Report on Journalist Safety in Ethiopia 2025, published by International Media Support (#IMS).
The report describes 2025 as “a worrying period for journalists in Ethiopia,” citing persistent intimidation, detention, and harassment nationwide.

Si è aperto oggi presso il Tribunale di Milano il processo di appello per l'omicidio di Andrea Rocchelli, ucciso a Slavyansk il 24 Maggio 2014 insieme ad Andrey Mironov. Con loro William Roguelon / Photographe, gravemente ferito. Andrea Rocchelli è stato il primo corrispondente a venir ucciso durante la guerra civile ucraina, guerra che prosegue ininterrotta da sei anni. Nel processo di primo grado, un paramilitare ucraino della Guardia Nazionale - con simpatie presumibili per l'ideologia neofascista - è stato condannato per concorso in omicidio volontario a 24 anni di reclusione.

Non so che cosa sia successo ad Andre Vltchek tra la scorsa notte e la mattinata di oggi. So che non molti hanno un'esperienza da giornalista investigativo, documentarista e reporter maturata in tutti i continenti del pianeta paragonabile alla sua. So che aveva un coraggio invidiato da alcuni e temuto da molti. Andre era una fonte inesauribile di conoscenza, di stimoli e di cultura. Instancabile, determinato, controcorrente. Non dimenticherò mai la sua dedizione, il privilegio di averlo conosciuto e quello di essergli stato amico. Ciao Andre ❤️
