9 years later and this brilliant editorial cartoon from my good friend ⁦@iGaddo⁩ still tickles but reminds me of the sacrifice journalists have made reporting on Ethiopia over the decades. Proud it was inspired by this interview. https://t.co/3tUAPLA5ke

Honored to be an @ReporterOG Fellowship Fellow 2025 in Germany. As regimes like Kagame’s weaponize digital tools like Pegasus for surveillance, the program’s focus on digital security is timely and vital. Grateful to learn from experts, connect with brave journalists from

I got pickpocketed in Poland using the oldest trick in the book, an ‘accidental bump’ and my phone and wallet are gone. I feel like such a fool 😂

Didn’t they switch from private guards to @G4S? Del Monte is one of the hardest companies to report on. Utazungushwa from Kenya to US. This is another sad to add to the many who have been killed and a community that has gone through hell.

Journalists are #NotATarget. Attacks against journalists are attacks against fundamental freedoms. A free press is essential to human rights, democracy and the rule of law; and to ensure the truth is brought to light and perpetrators brought to account.

UN Sec Gen: ‘ There must be individual responsibility for the killings of journalists.’ Targeting of journalists in conflict zones is a war crime. Israel’s closest allies Germany, US and the west can no longer be silent and just ‘ condemn’ these killings.

Emmanuel, I’m deeply sorry for the loss of the friend and a courageous colleague Anas Al-Shariff. His killing adds to the nearly 270 journalists and media workers now killed by Israel since October 7, 2023 - a devastating toll on press freedom and truth telling. We cannot remain
