Press Freedom Index 2022 - Ethiopia slides back 13 points

Post by temari » 03 May 2022, 11:14

The government should stop jailing journalists without charge or with bogus charges. That is stupid!

Jailing journalist Gobeze Sisay for example is absurd!

What about our journalism etiquette?
We need a free press to begin with.
I'm not talking about the regime here but the journalists.

Of course journalists have a responsibility but there should be a clear set of rules and if someone is charged then the prosecutors should make the charges public. If the government has anything against a journalist then it should make it public, go to the courts and only courts should decide whether someone should be jailed.

The current practice is taking journalists to jail without any charge and without any court order and holding them in custody for weeks or months. That is a practice of a banana republic not a democracy and is unacceptable.

If i was in power i will arrest the corrupted, the white's behind kisser, Donqoro Daniel Bekele. He is the most A-hole monkey there is in Africa. The way he hash-hash the mass massacre of MyCadra, he is nothing but a TPLF [deleted] and a white kisser. I hate that guy to no end!!!

According to what Ethiopia has been through in the last two or so past years, let alone 13 points, be it also 300 points, many of the so called journalists should have been locked down for the rest of their lives.

Trying to take a cover under a press freedom after instigating and fabricating endless propaganda, which has directly contributed or caused the death and other kinds of bodily harms to others, is adding an insult to sustained injury.

Bunch of worthless sellouts, specially those who are working for any foreign (= western) media agencies should be banned and deported to their adopted master's homelands.

Put them in Hell!

As usual you become emotional and missed the point. The point is not whether the journalists are worthless which in most case they are. The point is whether the government should abide by the law or act as a lawless thug and warlord. The government should apply the existing law against them by prosecuting them in courts but what it is doing is jailing them without any given reason or any accusation, hiding them from their families and at the end release them without applying the law in full force. The government is not acting better than the journalists and is only confirming what they are saying about it by acting like a thug.

Temari; you don't even have the sense to understand journalism dead and burn. The government is not doing the public any service either, the government failed to hold responsible the journalists to their actions. In every sector of the government you can only say ልፍስፍስ እና ቆለት የለሽ ኣስመሳይ መንግስት፤

I have no idea what the heck you are talking about. What I'm asking is for the government to be tough and apply the law forcefully but with due process. Whether someone is doing his journalistic job or is involved in criminal act should be decided by the courts and not by you and me. Currently, what we have is a weak government, unable to enforce the law but acts sometimes like a lawless thug by occasionally jailing journalists without any court process. This is stupid! The government should just implement the law forcefully and if there are no laws for certain things it should introduce new laws but it should abide by the law and apply it forcefully.

It is said that the people get the kind of governments they deserve. What kind of government do you think all of these disgusting and fragmented thankless extremist baboon parrots who think that they are more clever than any one else deserve? Gobeze ye xellaa bet gobez aleqa lihon yichil yihonal. Yaa demmo Ye hizb aleqa liyadergew ayichilim Befitsum! Knowing one's own limits is already the beginning of wisdom!
