Journalist who are working hand and glove with the terrorist organizations such as TPLF and OLF (shenes) are not part of the free press. So the government is within its right to put under control those terrorist mouth pieces.

That's what derg and eprdf used too when closing or limiting ideas. Using national security excuse to prolong rule is common
This is no longer effective strategy as media can work from outside the country and penetrate the market.
