Ethiopia: Silencing Dissent - Criminalization of Freedom of Speech in Ethiopia's Somali Region

Summary by allAfrica
Addis Abeba -- In a troubling setback for democratic progress, the Somali Regional State has chosen repression over dialogue. In April 2025 alone, four journalists and activists--Abdi Mohamed Barud, Mohamed Aden Hassan, Ahmed Abdi Omar, and Ibrahim Abduqadir--were arrested in Jigjiga under opaque circumstances. Their offense? Exercising their constitutional right to free expression through digital platforms.
