ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA – Editor-in-Chief of The Reporter, Ato Amare Aregawi, was beaten up today in Addis Ababa by at least three unknown individuals. Sources told Ethiopian Review that Amare was shot, not just beaten up. He is critically wounded and currently receiving treatment at the Hayat Clinic.
There is a speculation that Amare was attacked for writing critical articles about Woyanne billionaire businessman Ato Mohammed Al Amoudi. The attackers are presumed to be Al Amoudi’s thugs.
On Oct. 11, The Reporter wrote this about Al Amoudi under the title “Fixing the problems of Sheikh Al-Amoudi’s investment.”
