In the letter, the journalists said they would be “forced to stop working” if their February 2018 Ethiopian calendar salary remains unpaid. Speaking to Addis Standard, Efrem Redahey, a senior producer for Tigrigna content at the station, described the growing financial hardship faced by journalists, saying many staff members are struggling to cover basic expenses. “Our situation has become extremely difficult,” Efrem said. “The transport service provided by the station has also been terminated.

If no response is received by then, they warned they will stop working. Meanwhile, Tigray Teachers Association said teachers across the region are facing similar economic hardships due to prolonged salary delays. Read More: addisstandard.com/?p=55862
