Ethiopia 'blocks' Al Jazeera websites - Africa - Al Jazeera English

Ethiopia 'blocks' Al Jazeera websites - Africa - Al Jazeera English
Al Jazeera’s English and Arabic websites are reported to have been blocked in Ethiopia, raising fresh fears that the government is continuing its efforts to silence the media.
Though the authorities in Addis Ababa have refused to comment on the reported censorship, Google Analytics data accessed by Al Jazeera shows that traffic from Ethiopia to the English website had plummeted from 50,000 hits in July 2012 to just 114 in September.
