The government is collecting your data! How will you know it'll be safe? Our latest edition tells you what the law says.

From The Editors

As Ethiopia advances in building its digital future, the data of its citizens is being collected at an astonishing rate. We decided to dedicate this edition to explaining what kind of protections has Ethiopia put in place in terms of data privacy and what's missing. Also in our edition, you'll find out why leaving Africa is easier than travelling within it, an age-old Ethiopian tradition to build discipline, and how inflation made Telebirr popular. And much much more. We hope you enjoy!
