According to the articles: " New York, October 24, 2011--Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi last week accused journalists in the country of being "messengers" with "terrorist" groups, while a state newspaper accused the chief editor of an independent publication of having terrorist ties and called on security forces to "take action" against him. The Committee to Protect Journalists today said it condemns this campaign of intimidation against the private press."

**__TERRORISM AND SAFETY:__** Global Incident Map - According to globalincidentmap.com, Ethiopia is free of terrorism. There is no data present to suggest that Ethiopia has a terrorist threat.
