SUMMARY:Inside Ethiopia - a talk with the journalist Amir Aman Kiyaro
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:With around 110 million inhabitants\, Ethiopia is the second mo
 st populated country in Africa and one of the continent's political heavyw
 eights. Although large parts of the population live in poverty\, Ethiopia 
 was internationally recognized as a model of hopeful development in Africa
  thanks to its dynamic economic growth. But today\, Ethiopia has increasin
 gly become a factor of insecurity. Wars in Tigray and the Amhara region\, 
 serious human rights violations and numerous political conflicts in other 
 parts of the country and with neighbor states are contributing to this sit
 uation of instability. <br><br><b>Amir Aman Kiyaro</b> has been reporting 
 for more than three years as a freelance journalist for the Associated Pre
 ss (AP) on the armed conflicts in Ethiopia's Tigray region. After intervie
 wing fighters of the rebel liberation army\, he and his cameraman were acc
 used of ‘terrorism’\, ‘collaboration with Ethiopia's enemies’. The
 y remained in custody for four months and became targets of hate comments 
 and death threats on social media. With the support of the Hamburg Foundat
 ion for the Politically Persecuted (<a href=\"https://www.hamburger-stiftu
 ng.de/\">Hamburger Stiftung für politisch Verfolgte</a>)\, Amir Aman Kiya
 ro and his family came to Hamburg in May 2024.<br><br><b>Dr. Gerrit Kurtz<
 /b> is a researcher in the Research Division on Africa and the Middle East
  at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP). His
  field of study is the Horn of Africa. His latest publication talks about 
 “The Narrow Limits of Ethiopia’s National Dialogue” initiated by the
  local government. Dr Kurtz had just returned from a two-week research-sta
 y in Ethiopia.<br><br>Together with Amir Aman Kiyaro and Dr. Gerrit Kurtz\
 , we will discuss the latest developments of the conflict and the current 
 political situation in Ethiopia\, focusing on the consequences for the pop
 ulation and the press workers. We will take a closer look at the country's
  perspectives and talk about the possible role of Europe and Germany in it
 s future.<br><br><b>Inside Ethiopia - a talk with the journalist Amir Aman
