As the protest all over the country continues Ethiopian
government is turning its face on suspending radio station claiming they are
motivating people by playing music that initiates nationalism, the reporter
disclosed.
“This is the
main reason that the government could not control the protest,” said Ethiopian
Broadcast Authority (EBA) on its report to the legislative body last week.
Officials in EBA

not to play these kinds of music that aggravate the unrest.
Abby radio
station and Sheger FM are some of the stations that got a warning from the
legislative and EBA for the accusation.
According to

a direction which kinds of music to play and not to play. If not they will be
suspended.
