Ethiopia has ordered journalists working for Deutsche Welle (DW) to stop reporting in the country, the German broadcaster said Friday, the latest move in a broader media crackdown.
DW said the Ethiopian Media Authority (EMA) ordered nine of its journalists to "temporarily" suspend work on Thursday.

"We are very concerned about the restriction on our reporting in Ethiopia," DW director general Barbara Massing said in a statement.
"We fully expect that our colleagues will be able to resume their work immediately and without restriction."
But staff in Germany and elsewhere in the world will continue producing DW's Amharic-language television and radio programming to serve Ethiopians, the broadcaster said.
DW said that its Amharic-language programming reaches millions of Ethiopians, making it the largest foreign broadcaster in the country.
According to DW, the EMA's letter did not level any concrete allegations about coverage.
