Book
Na véspera de 28 de junho de 2011, os jornalistas suecos Martin Schibbye e Johan Persson colocaram tudo em risco ao cruzar ilegalmente a fronteira da Somália com a Etiópia. Eles queriam relatar como a busca implacável por petróleo afetou a população da região de Ogaden isolada e cheia de conflitos. Cinco dias depois, eles ficaram feridos na areia do deserto, baleados e capturados pelo exército etíope. Mas quando o relatório inicial os dá como mortos, outra história começa. Após um julgamento kafkiano, foram condenados a onze anos de prisão por terrorismo. Eles foram perdoados e soltos após 438 dias - esta é sua história de 438 dias de terror.

Journalists Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye talk about the horrendous days in the desert, rail executions and false terror charges. They were arrested before they could report on the violence in the closed state of Ogaden. But the Ethiopian regime failed to silence them. With the help of never-before-seen video material and testimonies smuggled out of the country by a high ranking official, the whole story can finally be told. About Johan and Martin. About the violence in Ogaden. And about the prisoners of dictatorship.
