Ethiopia says it is detaining a French journalist who arrived in the country to cover the recent African Union (AU) Assembly meeting because he violated his terms of accreditation.

Antoine Galindo, a journalist for French investigative news site Africa Intelligence, reportedly arrived in Addis Ababa ahead of the AU Summit but was later detained on February 21 after which he was arraigned before he was re-detained.
