Officially, I do not exist. I am a freelance journalist in the small country of Eritrea of East Africa who after 12 years here and more than 150 internationally published articles, I find that officially I do not have to do anything. does not exist.
According to international media there are no independent journalists in Eritrea many interviews on international news channels, they persist that I do not exist.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (aka the Committee of Suspicious Journalists) published an article on its website (Ethiopian Bombs Itself). As a freelance journalist in Eritrea, CPJ stated that I no longer existed in the annual report on press freedoms.
I contribute to independent sites in Africa and I am listed as a columnist in Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Somalia, Eritrea, Kenya and Southeast Asia, among other countries, for years but that does not seem to matter, it still persists that I do not exist.
I have contributed Most of the 100 articles in the last 15 years to Counterpunch, which receives 2 million unique visitors each month, making it the largest English website left on the planet but not of independent journalists in our small country of East Africa. from Eritrea
