Access Now 348d ago

It’s been more than 200 days since authorities in Ethiopia cut off internet access to the Amhara region. This targeted act to control online space and manipulate narratives has disconnected millions of people from access to life-saving communication channels during an active conflict. With the human rights situation rapidly deteriorating, impacted communities have no way to share their stories or seek immediate assistance. The Ethiopian government must stop weaponizing internet shutdowns and prioritize people’s safety and rights. Join the #KeepItOn coalition in pressuring Ethiopian authorities to restore access to internet connectivity.
