Ethiopia increased capacity to filter, block & monitor internet & mobile phone communication
KEY DEVELOPMENTS: MAY 2012 – APRIL 2013
- Prior to the announcement of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi’s death in August 2012, speculation over the state of his health led to an intensified crackdown against the media and freedom of expression online (seeIntroduction).
- The Ethiopian government increased its technological capacity to filter, block, and monitor internet and mobile phone communications, with assistance from the Chinese authorities (see Limits on Content).
- The Telecom Fraud Offences Law, enacted in July 2012, toughened restrictions on ICTs and extended the anti-terrorism law and criminal code to electronic communications (see Violations of User Rights).
- Two individuals were prosecuted for their ICT activities, while harsh sentences were upheld for two imprisoned opposition journalists (seeViolations of User Rights).
- The commercial spyware toolkit FinFisher was discovered in Ethiopia in August 2012 (see Violations of User Rights).
INTRODUCTION:
Ethiopia has one of the lowest rates of internet and mobile telephone penetration in the world, as meager infrastructure, a government monopoly over the telecom sector, and obstructive telecom policies have notably hindered the growth of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the country. Despite low access, the government maintains a strict system of controls over digital media, making Ethiopia the only country in Sub-Saharan Africa to implement nationwide internet filtering. Such a system is made possible by the state’s monopoly over the country’s only telecom company, Ethio Telecom, which returned to government control after a two-year management contract with France Telecom expired in December 2012. In addition, the government’s implementation of deep-packet inspection technology for censorship was indicated when the Tor network, which helps people communicate anonymously online, was blocked in mid-2012.
Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, who ruled Ethiopia for over 20 years, died in August 2012 while seeking treatment for an undisclosed illness. Before his death was officially confirmed on August 20th, widespread media speculation about Zenawi’s whereabouts and the state of his health prompted the authorities to intensify its censorship of online content. A series of Muslim protests against religious discrimination in July 2012 also sparked increased efforts to control ICTs, with social media pages and news websites disseminating information about the demonstrations targeted for blocking. Moreover, internet and text messaging speeds were reported to be extremely slow, leading to unconfirmed suspicions that the authorities had deliberately obstructed telecom services as part of a wider crackdown on the Ethiopian Muslim press for its coverage of the demonstrations.
Nigeria/Ethiopia: It's an Eye for an Eye Against Ethiopia - Ladipo
President General of the Nigerian Supporters Club, Dr Rafiu Ladipo yesterday warned the Ethiopian Football Federation and its supporters club to desist from carrying out their threats of locking out the Nigerian band of supporters from watching the make or mar first leg World Cup cracker against Nigeria on Sunday.
Ladipo who storms Addis Ababa with 250 members of the Nigerian trumpeters to provide support for the African Champions said that he got information that the Ethiopians would try funny things to frustrate the Eagles including locking out the supporters Club.
"We're only Supporters who are going to support our team. But if they try to frustrate us, we will reciprocate when they come for the return leg. I believe in an eye for an eye", Ladipo swore yesterday as he galvanized his band men for the journey to Addis Ababa.
He however said that they would not succumb to the antics of the Ethiopians as they were battle ready to grab the points and come home to make the second leg a formality.
"I thank President Goodluck Jonathan for his unprecedented support to ensure that Nigeria hoists its flag in Brazil for the World Cup. He has been rendering uncommon services to support the Eagles and there will be no stopping us from going to Brazil", Ladipo said.
