Ethiopia has revoked the press credentials of a foreign journalist working for the New York Times, according to the newspaper and an Ethiopian official.

The Times said in an article on Thursday that Simon Marks, an Irish national who reports for it and other publications, had his credentials revoked by the Ethiopian Broadcasting Authority in early March, after returning to Addis Ababa from the Tigray region, where he had interviewed civilian war survivors.

"We encourage the government to rethink this authoritarian approach and instead work to foster a robust exchange of information. It can start by reissuing Mr. Marks's credentials and freeing any journalist being detained," Slackman said in a statement emailed to Reuters late on Thursday."Any attempts to directly link it to the Prime Minister is undermining national institutional processes," Billene Seyoum, Abiy's spokeswoman, told Reuters in a text message.

"We don't have a problem with the New York Times, we don't have a problem with the media, the issue is an individual issue."
