Since the start of the protests, the death toll is said to be over 500, and the military is on a national crackdown – soldiers have even been pulled out from Somalia and are deployed in high-tension areas.

citizens are not allowed to post on social media, there is no free assembly, crossing one’s wrists in political gestures, the travel of diplomats more than 40km out of the capital, and watching foreign-based television stations, Ethiopia Satellite Television and Oromia Media Network – which are being referred to as “terrorist” media by the state.But why are Ethiopians protesting in the first place?
