THREAD: This week in Ethiopia, the strange and less than ethical conduct of Tobias Rasmussen, a Danish economist and the IMF's (International Monetary Fund) rep in Ethiopia, has made local and international headlines.

Mr. Rasmussen appears to have used his privilege, and the forever vulnerable status of the local Ethiopian journalists, to issue a subtle and implied threat to reporters at a local newspaper to drop an interview he did with them. Or else. All this according to a report in Semafor.
