Ethiopia suspends two NGOs over ‘misinformation’

The Ethiopian government has suspended the operations of two NGOs, the Norwegian Refugee Council and MSF’s Dutch section, accusing them of spreading misinformation.

The government has accused the Norwegian Refugee Council and the Dutch section of Medicins Sans Frontieres of disseminating misinformation.
