And yet, I saw neither @BBCAfrica nor @wdavison10 saying anything about Amnesty. How is it that some individual accounts using fake photos to draw attention to the humanitarian situation bigger coverage than @amnesty using fake photos to accuse GoE of arrests?
Not only did @BBCNews have some 3 pages long coverage for photos on individual accounts, leading up to these photos is a section ‘How serious are food shortages in Amhara?’ Which is followed by some rant that would sounds like the answer to that question is ‘not that serious’
Well, we already know by now all Ethiopians are equal in the eyes of most international MSM.
