French journalist Antoine Galindo, a Paris-based correspondent for Africa Intelligence, has been detained in Ethiopia since February 22 on suspicions of conspiring 'to create chaos' in the country, his employer announced. Galindo was in Ethiopia covering a recent African Union summit when he was arrested. The Ethiopian government's action comes amid reports of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the country, with a UN International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia (ICHREE) highlighting 'evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on a staggering scale'. Additionally, a Reuters investigative report revealed that a secret security committee in Ethiopia's Oromiya region is responsible for dozens of extra-judicial killings. The arrest follows a pattern of repression, as at least eight Ethiopian journalists have been detained since August, according to @PressFreedom.
