Abebe Gellaw is an exiled Ethiopian journalist and founder of Addis Voice, a web platform that provides news that is otherwise censored by the Ethiopian government. He created Addis Multimedia Proxy Toolbar, an online tool that circumvents government censorship. In a government crackdown on journalists and freedom of expression, Ethiopia’ s high court charged him with terrorism in November 2011. Gellaw, along with four other Ethiopian journalists in exile, was charged in absentia. He is the first Ethiopian journalist to win the prestigious Knight Fellowship, as well as the Yahoo! International Fellowship. (source)
Gellaw was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. After earning his undergraduate and graduate degrees, he began his career in journalism in 1993 as a freelance writer focusing on human rights and political issues. In 1995, he was one of the founding editors of the independent newspaper Addis Express, which was forced by the government to close in early 1996. Gellaw was a senior reporter and columnist for the Ethiopian Herald, the only English daily in the country, from 1996 to 1998, after which he was exiled to the United Kingdom.
Gellaw started his work in London as a radio producer and broadcaster for Health Africa. From 2000 to 2004, he was managing editor of New Vision, a UK-based refugee e-journal. Since 2005, he has been a regular contributor and columnist for major Ethiopian online media outlets. In 2006, Gellaw founded Addis Voice, a popular Ethiopian online current affairs journal published in both Amharic and English. Addis Voice serves as a multimedia platform that spreads uncensored news, commentaries, and analyses that are otherwise uncirculated in Ethiopia. Since its launch in 2006— a year that saw the closure of 13 newspapers and the trials of nearly 20 journalists for treason in Ethiopia— Addis Voice has published thousands of news stories, commentaries, and other multimedia content.
Gellaw is the recipient of a number of awards for his work in journalism. His op-eds, articles, and interviews appear in many publications, including The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Guardian, The Far East Review, the Stanford Report, and Global Integrity’ s The Corruption Notebooks 2008, a book written by leading journalists around the word that focuses on corruption and abuses of power. _________________ እመሰ ረሳዕኩኪ ኢትዮጵያ …የማንየ ለትርስዐኒ። ወይጥጋዕ ልሳንየ ባጉርዔየ ለእሙ ኢተዘከርኩኪ!

In 2010 Abebe Gelaw in Tanzania expressed his frustration as he forwarded his question to ato Meles. Meles was not forthcoming. This time, however, Abebe used the only option left for him to expose Meles' true color. WE NEED FREEDOM MORE THAN FOOD! People with freedom will have the power to control their own future. Where there is freedom development flourishes. YOU ARE A DICTATOR! You are an oppressor! Loud and clear.
