Ethiopia’s government media continues fooling people with fake pictures.

Since recently, social media activists have revealed tenths of fake pictures used in the news outlets of government media.

Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC), Fana Broadcasting Corporation (FBC), Ethiopian News Agency and government communications were some of the media caught red handed using pictures that are taken in the foreign countries to show the development of Ethiopia.

Obviously for political reasons government wants to tell people that it is constructing dams, roads and electric stations which are not on the ground but pictures of different countries are here to convince the audience.
