Tesfalem Woldeyes

Tesfalem Woldeyes is a prominent journalist and editor-in-chief of the portal Ethiopia Insider. He has been at the forefront of reporting on critical issues in Ethiopia, including human rights abuses and government actions. His work has led to increased scrutiny from Ethiopian authorities, particularly following his detention in June 2023 by intelligence officers under allegations of 'spreading false information.' Woldeyes was released on bail, but his case highlights the growing repression of independent journalism in Ethiopia, particularly in light of new media laws that threaten press freedom.
