Historic day indeed! Mogoqori town - recaptured from Al-Shabaab last September - elected its youth leader democratically. Democratisation starting from below - Somali youth showing the way. Incremental steps important on the way towards democratisation.

#Ethiopia: We’re very concerned by the deteriorating #humanrights situation in several regions of the country. We call on authorities to stop mass arrests, ensure that any deprivation of liberty is judicially reviewed, & release those arbitrarily detained ow.ly/jG7S50PFlPA
