THREAD: Ethiopia's #Twitter to #Mastodon road bumps.

The Ethiopian press corps is a collective of local and foreigners who cover Ethiopia for local and international media. Previously (prior to 2020) most of us would have been based in the country. Now, very few of us actually are. Fear of arrest (or worse), death threats, slander, and for foreigners, deportation and revocation of press permit...have the press largely relocated to neighbouring Nairobi.
