http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/EFJA/ In recent months, you have watched what the Ethiopian government did against EFJA and its executive members. The Ethiopian authorities have tried to replace the only independent Association that represents our journalist brothers and us. The Ethiopian government is trying to silence EFJA. Now it will be our responsibility to stand beside our brothers and fight for the freedom of our association. We, the undersigned friends of free press, former members and founders of EFJA, condemn the acts of the Ethiopian government against the independent Ethiopian free press journalists Association.
