Ethiopian authorities have freed Nation Media Group correspondent Tesfa-Alem Tekle following 77 days of detention in Addis Ababa.

Mr Tesfa-Alem was freed on Saturday afternoon along with several dozens of people, including professionals and journalists who had been arrested ostensibly for violating reporting rules on the Tigray conflict.
