#UDUBMEDIA #Accredited #Milestone
Between 5 and 1.6 years in prison were sentenced by the regional government .
Based on the charge sheets I reviewed, some appeared to be innocent, and the cases seem to target freedom of expression. One thing all the cases had in common is that they were based on Facebook comments.
Honored to receive this recognition from the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa .
Grateful for the experience and inspired to keep fighting for independent media in Ethiopia , despite all odds.

Silenced into exile.
Jeberti isn’t just a cameraman But in Ethiopia’s Somali Region, holding a camera can get you arrested.
It’s a system that targets young voices, turns cameras into threats, and pushes media workers into impossible choices.

Abdulrazaq Hassan, Ethiopian broadcast journalist and President of the Somali Regional Journalism Association, photographed standing in front of the historical Al-Najashy mosque in Negash, Tigray. The dome was shelled and partially destroyed in November 2020 when Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers attacked the region. Repairs to the mosque are visible in the photograph.
Happy to see the Najashy mosque in Tigray, one of the world's oldest mosques under repair. In 2020, Ethiopian soldiers shelled & looted it. Turkiye is funding repairs. That's my pal, fellow journo @abdulrazaq.bsky.social visiting the site.
