from ADANE BIKILA in Addis Ababa, EthiopiaEthiopia BureauADDIS ABABA, (CAJ News) – AHEAD of numerous elections across the continent, the Collaboration on International Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Policy for East and Southern Africa (CIPESA) has partnered with Digital Action to support work on tech accountability in Sub-Saharan Africa. This support will be channelled through the Tech Accountability Fund, which will be administered under the auspices of the Africa Digital Rights Fund (ADRF). In 2022, Africa had around 570 million internet users, of which 384 million (67 percent) were social media users. “As the users increase, reports from social media companies indicate the rise of harmful, illegal or offensive content on the platforms,” CIPESA stated.

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia's parliament on Friday extended by four months a state of emergency declared in August to respond to an insurgency in the northern region of Amhara that has resulted in hundreds of deaths and drawn accusations of widespread human rights abuses. Fighting erupted in Amhara last July between federal forces and a local militia called Fano, which has accused the government of undermining the region's security. The state of emergency handed the government powers to impose curfews, restrict people's movement and ban public gatherings. The state-appointed Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has documented a range of alleged abuses in the Amhara conflict, most of which it has attributed to government forces. EHRC head Daniel Bakele said on social media on Friday that his organisation was "gravely concerned" about the implications of the extension for human rights and the humanitarian situation.
