Amnesty International has urged the Ethiopian government to immediately lift a one-month-old blockade imposed on selected social media platforms.
Ethiopian authorities shut down access to popular social media platforms on February 9, 2023 after tensions between the country’s authorities and the Orthodox Tewahdo Church escalated.
