In short
- Ethiopia’s media regulator renewed licenses for three Reuters journalists after a six-month suspension of their accreditation.
The Ethiopian Media Authority has renewed the reporting licenses of three Reuters journalists based in Ethiopia, ending a six-month accreditation suspension, according to an Addis Standard report carried by AllAfrica on August 28, 2026.
The suspension began after the government declined earlier in 2026 to renew the journalists’ credentials. The latest decision restores their authorization to report from the country.
The development concerns the operating environment for international media in Ethiopia and follows months in which the affected journalists lacked renewed accreditation.
