Ethiopian government Facebook troll farm exposed.

Today, the BBC published a long form investigation in Amharic that I hope is made available in English for non Ethiopian audiences soon.

A 3 month investigation revealed that Ethiopian ruling party institutions have swarmed Facebook with inauthentic pro government accounts which like, comment and share content favorable to the party, and spread disinformation and hate speech that targets opponents.

An English version of that would be useful. Some other media attention such as from @tsedale would be good.
