Addis Abeba - Two foreigners, who claimed they were journalists, have been detained by civil securities at mid day today near Ayalew Music Shop, Piassa, Addis Abeba.
The foreigners were filming the buildings and the long taxi queue at the moment of their arrest.
As they were confronted by the undercover security, the two individuals began packing their materials and rushed to leave the area. However, the securities followed them and whisked them away from a taxi.
The two refused to enter the security’s car and go with them. Finally, a taxi took them to an unknown location accompanied by the security agents. Their current whereabouts is unknown.
De Birhan‘s reporter saw some people, who were watching the incident, attempting to rescue the two individuals but to no avail.
By their looks, the two individuals look European and spoke fluent English.
