Hermela Aregawi that goes by the Twitter handle @HermelaTV is a Los Angeles based journalist and TV anchor for CBSLA. Aside from her job at CBSLA, Hermela engages in political discourse on social media regarding the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region.

TPLF has terrorized not only the innocence people of Tigray region in Ethiopia, but also the broader masses of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia and the Horn of Africa.

Ever since the conflict started, social media has been turned into another battleground for narrative for both the terror group sympathizers and the duly elected government supporters. While navigating this volatile space Hermela has caught fire from both sides of the aisle for what each believes as inaccurate reports by her.

Currently there is a petition circulating among the terror group sympathizers to get Hermela fired from her job for simply doing her job as a journalist, which is to question, analyze, fact check and report. 

We the below signees plead with CBSLA to not be intimidated by mobs of ethnic supremacists and let Hermela exercise  her First amendment right at her place of work and on social media.

Sincerely, 
Ethiopians & friends of Ethiopia world wide
