Habtamu Dugo relays his life story as a reporter living inside a brutal police state. His focus on human rights issues in his writings and blog were met with strange phone calls, involving threats of beatings, prison, and death. Dugo soon found out that remaining anonymous was not going to stop a violent regime from making good on their promises. Hear this fascinating story of courage in the face of intimidation, abuse, and oppression.

    RESPONDING IN KIND IS NOT HATE.

    Respect is earned.

    Therefore to earn respect, one has to PROVE he/she earned it.

  • @mamo8383

    Mamo,

    Every ONE running to Finland or USA is NOT as poor as you were raised.

    While you may love the Scandenevian "CHARITY" feeding your lazy-ass, most people left their families, friends, society, heritage & culture behin, because they were forced to leave.

    Therefore, take off your glasses & find out why people leave their homeland.

  • common guys lets talk the truth he flee not because of politics but because of economic problem, he flee for American dream !!!

  • i think he is doing the right thing keep it up we are with you 100%

  • watch 2:30, he looks much better in ethio than in US LOL

  • am one of those who oppose the political view of the ethiopian gov't, and i suffered 2 much things bcz of that. but all these suffers doesnt only happenin to you or to the oromo people. it happens on all ethiopians. so why dont you guys consider the situation as ethiopia instead of just for one tribe

  • FUCK Woyanes for making all real journalists flee and killing our intellectuals...
