Releveant speech from the Oslo Freedom Forum by exiled journalist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pECH8Co_oxE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pECH8Co_oxE (also provides some background - 40 000 put in camps during 2005 elections) Having lived in Ethiopia for almost 10 years, this is has been systematically going on for years. It ofcourse started as a way to keep revenue coming in from long distance phone calls, blocking services like net2phone. I've also been told that the whole country had a 2Mb satellite connection and everything was dialup. Traceroutes left Ethiopia and came back 750ms later in New York, but they now have fiber connections and seem to be connected through Djibouti. Now they're blocking Tor and snooping on opposition parties (what's left) and bloggers. SMS traffic also can be shutdown whenever they want.
