An Internet watchdog has accused Ethiopia of blocking scores of anti-government websites and millions of blogs. "We have not done anything like that, and we have no intention of doing anything like that." a "misinformation" ministry spokesman said.
Editor's note: The government spokesman Zemedkun Tekle is yet again stating misinformation to foreign medias. CyberEthiopia has been one of the first web sites blocked since May 2006. Prior to the censorship, 20% of our users had IP addresses located in Ethiopia (all users in Ethiopia access the Internet through the Ethiopian Telecommunication Corporation, a state monopoly and sole ISP in the country). Users from Ethiopia can no longer access our site as a result of the government repressive measure to censor the Internet as illustrated by the drop in our usage statistics corresponding to the disapperance from our server logs of IP addresses in Ethiopia. The number of new users of CyberEthiopia from other parts of the World has kept its increase at a steady pace. With over 4000 unique visitors per day and an excellent ranking on Google and other search engines, CyberEthiopia still remains among the top five most visited Ethiopian web sites (see our figures for April 2007 ).
