Ethiopia s news website Addis Standard says it has been given approval by the government to resume operations this week after it was suspended over accusations it advanced the agenda of fighters in the war-torn northern Tigray region.
The English-language website and monthly magazine said Monday that the country s media regulator admitted legal missteps in revoking the outlet s license but reiterated that the news media must stop publishing specific references it says mischaracterize the Tigray region.
The Ethiopia Media Authority (EMA) has warned media outlets, including the Voice of America, not to refer to the Tigray People s Liberation Front (TPLF) as a national army by calling it the Tigray Defense Force or TDF.
