The world was impressed by the development of the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, but what is not widely known is that Chinese companies were behind all of this.
China has been building roads and infrastructure all across Africa.
#Eyasped is a constant voice against government injustice, he has been jailed 9 times by the former government of Ethiopia. He is currently detained for similar reasons. His fight is all about human rights and democratic principles

Free journalists and independent media houses are the core values of democratic culture. Stop the crackdown, free all unlawfully detained journalists. Make a real move towards national dialogue/ reconciliation.
@EthioHRC@amnesty@USEmbassyAddis@CPJAfrica#FreeThemAll#Eyasped
Wartime politics should not be a cover to silence citizens who dare to criticize the government. Free all journalists behind bars, so that we may have an authentic national dialogue and reconciliation.
@EthioHRC@amnesty@USEmbassyAddis@CPJAfrica#FreeThemAll#Eyasped
Eyasped speaks up against institutionalized injustices every chance he gets. He frequently organized similar campaigns for political prisoners and others silenced, he is behind bars now for being a voice of the people.
@EthioHRC@amnesty@USEmbassyAddis@CPJAfrica#Eyasped
Eyasped has always advocated for group and individual rights. He is also a fierce critic of the government. The arrest of him and the likes of him shows how the regime grows intolerant towards different voices.
@EthioHRC@amnesty@USEmbassyAddis@CPJAfrica#FreeThemAll#Eyasped
37 days passed since Eyasped was taken from his house by government security forces. Charges are not pressed against him since then. Keeping citizens in prison for no reason is a crime, Journalism is not.
@EthioHRC@amnesty@USEmbassyAddis@CPJAfrica#FreeThemAll#Eyasped
We can't build a democratic and peaceful Ethiopia while the state keeps silencing critical voices and shutting down independent media houses. End the crackdown, free the unlawfully detained journalists.

Eyasped faced difficult health conditions due to the unhealthy prison envi. He is denied proper health care access, even if he is granted a referral decision from the Dr.s in the prison facility. Get him proper medical care, free him.
@EthioHRC@amnesty@USEmbassyAddis#Eyasped
Eyasped Tesfaye has always stood against injustice and been a voice to all who need his voice. It's time for us to dignify him with our voices. Free the free man, Journalism is not a crime.
@EthioHRC@amnesty@USEmbassyAddis@CPJAfrica#FreeThemAll#Eyasped
Eyasped is a true advocate of group rights as he is of individual rights. The regime used its wartime law to silence journalists like him to escape from the accountability of violating the rights granted by the constitution.
