Weeks before the 2021 murder of Meareg Amare in Ethiopia, Amare's son and one of Facebook's trusted partners say they warned Facebook about hateful posts threatening his life. In the wake of his murder, six Ethiopian partners tell Insider that Facebook routinely ignored their pleas to take down hateful content.
The first Facebook post about Professor Meareg Amare appeared five weeks before his murder.
