That was done on Addis Neger journalists. The government has no tangible reason to accuse them. So, they prefer to force them out of the country. I do not think the coming election will be reputable without the presence of such free media like Addis Neger. What was also surprising is that the government owned TV and radio stations have opened a propaganda campaign filled with hatred against the editors even after they left the country.
