Media Silences Ethiopian Voices as U.S.-Backed TPLF Plunges Country Deeper Into War

U.S. corporate media and social media corporations are supporting the violent and oppressive Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front, despite the terror the TPLF is creating in Ethiopia. After losing the election to current Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in 2018, the TPLF is marching toward Addis Ababa with the intent to take over the government by force -- and the U.S. government is supporting them.

Hermela Aregawi, an Ethiopian-American journalist of Tigrayan descent, and Bob Schlehuber, host of Political Misfits on Radio Sputnik who recently returned from reporting in Ethiopia, detail the political situation in the country. They say the global media coverage has been absurdly one-sided.

At Breakthrough News we believe in the power of independent media. Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. They control the news cycle, to which social media and even most “alternative” media is forced to respond. We are breaking through that cycle.

We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.

People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.

We can be that media arm, but only with your help. Become a Patron and join us on the front lines in the battle of ideas.
