No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his sikn, or his background or his religion.
People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can
be tought to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. Nelson Mandela.

Detention of Temesgen Desalegn signals of Meles-era crackdown


Amnesty International
The detention yesterday of the editor of one of Ethiopia’s last independent publications is a worrying signal that theTemesgen Desalegn Feteh newspaper editor government intends to carry on targeting dissent, Amnesty International said today.
Temesgen Desalegn, editor of Feteh newspaper, faces a number of criminal charges based on articles he has written or published criticizing the government and calling on Ethiopia’s youth to peacefully protest against government repression.
He is the first journalist to be detained since the announcement on Monday of the death of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, under whose leadership the government regularly targeted critical journalists.
“It’s business as usual in Ethiopia. Temesgen Desalegn has been charged for exercising his right to freedom of expression in advocating for peaceful protests to take place, among other criticisms of the government,” said Claire Beston, Amnesty International’s Ethiopia researcher.
“Meles’ leadership was characterized by cracking down heavily on any dissent and dismantling the independent media, and yesterday’s events show that nothing has changed.”
