#Ethiopia: Journalist #MeskeremAbera (@MeetMeski), founder of Ethio Nikat, sentenced to 1 year & 4 months for "computer crimes" over YouTube content, accused of inciting unrest. Her legal team is appealing, asserting that the content does not incite violence or criminal behavior.

Behind bars since April 2023, Abera has faced repeated harassment from the state, part of a disturbing pattern of targeting journalists critical of the government.

Women Press Freedom condemns Abera's conviction and sentencing—she has been unjustly punished for doing her job. It’s time for her release. We demand Ethiopian authorities end their persecution of media workers and stop criminalizing journalism.

It’s been a crazy few days which have been filled with a whole range of emotions.

But as you all now know, after an incredible 11 years at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, the time has come for me to start a new chapter in my life and I will be joining Scuderia Ferrari in 2025.

I feel incredibly fortunate, after achieving things with Mercedes that I could only have dreamed of as a kid, that I now have the chance to fulfil another childhood dream. Driving in Ferrari red.

Mercedes has been a huge part of my life since I was 13 years old, so this decision has been the hardest I’ve ever had to make. I’m incredibly proud of all that we’ve achieved together and I’m very grateful for the hard work and dedication of everyone I have worked with over the years and of course Toto, for his friendship, guidance and leadership. Together we have won titles, broken records and become the most successful Driver-Team partnership in F1 history. And of course I cannot forget Niki who was a huge supporter and who I still miss everyday.

I must also share my huge appreciation to the whole of the Mercedes-Benz board and everyone at the company in Germany and around the world for supporting me over these 26 years.

But the time is right to make a change and take on a new challenge. I still remember the feeling of taking a leap of faith into the unknown when I first joined Mercedes in 2013. I know some people didn’t understand it at the time but I was right to make the move then and it's the feeling I have again now. I’m excited to see what I can bring to this new opportunity and what we can do together.

However, right now, I’m not thinking about 2025. My focus is on the upcoming season and getting back out on track with Mercedes. I am more driven than ever, I am fitter and more focussed than than ever and I want to help Mercedes win once again. I am 100% committed to the job I need to do and determined to end my partnership with the team on a high.

Thank you to all of you who have been on this journey with me, you have all lifted me up as I chase my dreams and I hope I can continue to make you proud. As always, sending you my love and positive energy.

#Editorial: Despite visible red flags, gov’t goes ahead with birthing a new region. Time to pause and reevaluate plans! https://t.co/CeByLHL8xz

Needless to say, the unilateral decision by the authorities does not only constitute a clear constitutional transgression, but also undermines the basic principles of democracy, human rights, and social stability that the people of the five zones and one special woreda yearn for.

In their quest for the right to self administration, something that is enshrined in the Ethiopian multinational constitution, the people of #Gurage, through their zonal council, were among the first of eleven national groups in the SNNP to have  unanimously voted for the establishment of a separate Gurage regional state as far back as November 2018.

Since then however, their demands were met with state-sanctioned brutality and suppression, marked by the killing, maiming, jailing and forced disappearance, among others, of community leaders, activists, journalists and politicians. Despite the incessant crackdowns, the Gurage people’s demand is far from over.

The @LemkinInstitute is alarmed by ongoing massacres of ethnic #Amharas in the Oromia region of #Ethiopia. Violence is reaching genocidal proportions & threatens to spread nationally. Security must be restored to prevent genocide. ⁣

The 🇪🇹 gov’t, under the orders of @AbiyAhmedAli, has committed egregious crimes, including mass murders & genocide. The @LemkinInstitute supports an int’l investigation into these crimes to hold him accountable.
