Internet in Ethiopia – level 1

25-06-2019 07:00

This news is about the Internet in Ethiopia. There are protests in some areas in Ethiopia in 2018. The Internet is off in these areas.

Last week, the Internet is off again. It is down for a week. People do not know why. Some people think that it is because of students. They think that no Internet can stop students from cheating.

The country’s Internet provider says that it is going to give money to people. The country loses money in the outage, too. People say that Ethiopia loses around $17 million.

Difficult words: cheat (do not do what you are supposed to do; for example, do not study but look at someone else’s exam to do well on an exam), provider (a company/business which sells or provides the Internet), outage (a time when there is no Internet).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
