Investigations to the arrest of six journalists begins

The journalism advocacy group Reporters Without Borders is investigating the arrest of at least six journalists in Ethiopia amid the ongoing conflict in Tigray.

The organisation said the arrests were conducted in “very secretive conditions”.

“Many journalists have been prevented from covering this issue,” it tweeted.

The federal government forces and those loyal to the Tigray regional government have been fighting in the northern state over the last couple of weeks.
