He has nothing to say about Eritrea! He is not concerned and interested. All that he worries about for 24hrs is his power and safety. He lives in a dug out trench
in Hadi Halo. He has his ranch of cattle, vegetables and fruits. He lives day to day.

⏹️Cancel any political decisions made without full agreement.
⏹️Bring together all major political groups and leaders.
⏹️Create a clear, fair electoral plan that everyone supports.
The US also signalled intent to impose targeted sanctions on key Somali leaders if these demands are not met. These may include visa bans, reduction of cooperation, suspension of financial and other support.

Public notice regarding federal police raid on Addis Standard and mass confiscation of electronic devises
This is a public notice regarding a coordinated police raid on April 17, 2025, targeting both the private residence of a senior staff member and the offices of Addis Standard, by the federal police.
We would like to reiterate that although the detained staff members were released, the continued seizure of a wide array of personal and professional electronic equipment - including laptops, mobile phones, hard disks, and CPUs - has not only disrupted our operations but are a cause for alarm.
The confiscated electronics remain in police hands, leaving our communication channels vulnerable to misuse. Although our main digital credentials remain secure, we cannot guarantee the integrity of any messages or emails sent from the compromised devices.
This opens the door to potential impersonation, misinformation, or attempts to incriminate our team members through unauthorized access or manipulation of data.
In such a volatile environment, the use of these devices outside our control presents serious risks not only to our staff’s safety but also to the integrity of our journalistic work.
We call for urgent attention to this matter and reiterate our commitment to pursuing all legal and peaceful avenues to protect our team and uphold our integrity to defend the freedom of the press in Ethiopia.
