Marca Ethiopia is a newly launched sports media outlet that provides comprehensive coverage of football, athletics, basketball, cycling, and other sporting events. We are currently operating online at marcaethiopia.et and plan to expand our offering to radio talk shows in the near future.
Our founders have extensive experience in newspapers, radio, and television and have built a strong reputation in the Ethiopian sports journalism sector. In addition, they have been imprisoned, exiled, and harassed several times for their coverage of political, social, and humanitarian issues in magazines, newspapers, and foreign media. Although he was able to obtain asylum in Japan, he was prevented from entering Japan for a visit due to his radio broadcasts against the treatment of refugees in Japan for the German Voice and the six books he wrote while in Japan and was separated from his family for six years. Although the embassy claims that he was prevented from entering the embassy due to a verbal dispute with the visa officer, the main reason is that he criticized the Japanese government while in Japan and published books about Japan while in Ethiopia.
Despite these problems, we are currently committed to providing accurate information to our country and people by opening a media outlet focused on sports, Marca Ethiopia.
