Kurekodi video na kublogu kwa video
Ethiopia ni ndoto kwa kurekodi video, na watu wengi hawana shida na kamera. Hata hivyo, sheria chache ni muhimu: baadhi ya maeneo yamekatazwa kabisa, droni zinahitaji idhini kabla hujawasili, na chochote kinachoonekana kama kazi ya kitaalamu ya vyombo vya habari kinahitaji kibali.
Unachoweza kuleta na kurekodi
- Simu, kamera, kamera za vitendo (action cameras), gimbal na maikrofoni ndogo kwa matumizi yako binafsi ni sawa. Leta kiasi cha kawaida cha msafiri; vifaa kadhaa vipya vinavyoonekana vya kibiashara vinaweza kutozwa ushuru.
- Kurekodi mandhari, masoko, chakula na maisha ya mjini kwa ajili ya chaneli yako ni jambo la kawaida na linavumiliwa kwa kiasi kikubwa.
- Mahojiano, filamu za makala, au kazi kwa ajili ya kampuni ya habari au ya utayarishaji zinahitaji kibali kutoka kwa Mamlaka ya Vyombo vya Habari ya Ethiopia (Agizo 900/2022). Sheria za chaneli binafsi za YouTube hazijaelezwa wazi, kwa hiyo ikiwa video yako ni zaidi ya picha za kawaida za safari, uliza Mamlaka hiyo au ubalozi wa Ethiopia kabla ya kusafiri.
Mahali kamera haziruhusiwi
- Maeneo ya kijeshi na wanajeshi, maafisa wa polisi na vituo vya polisi.
- Ikulu ya Taifa na majengo na ofisi nyingine za serikali.
- Viwanja vya ndege, madaraja, mabwawa na miundombinu mingine muhimu.
- Mahali popote penye alama ya kukataza kupiga picha. Maeneo haya hayana alama kila wakati, kwa hiyo mlinzi au afisa akikwambia uache, acha na ufute ukiombwa. Adhabu ni pamoja na faini, kunyang'anywa vifaa na kukamatwa.
Droni
- Kuingiza droni bila idhini ya awali kutoka INSA (Mamlaka ya Usalama wa Mtandao wa Habari) na forodha ni kinyume cha sheria; droni zisizoidhinishwa hushikiliwa uwanja wa ndege, na huenda usizirudishiwe.
- Kurusha droni kunahitaji ruhusa kutoka Mamlaka ya Usafiri wa Anga ya Ethiopia pamoja na INSA. Omba mapema kabla ya safari yako, ikiwezekana kupitia kampuni ya utalii yenye leseni; vinginevyo acha droni nyumbani.
Kurekodi watu
- Watu wanazidi kuzoea kamera, lakini wengi bado hawataki kurekodiwa. Uliza kwanza kila wakati; tabasamu na kutikisa kichwa mara nyingi vinatosha, na hilo linathaminiwa sana.
- Heshimu jibu la hapana, na kuwa mwangalifu zaidi na watoto, waumini na watu walio kanisani au msikitini.
- Katika Bonde la Omo na baadhi ya vijiji watu huomba ada ndogo kwa kila picha. Kubalianeni kwanza, kupitia kiongozi wako wa utalii, na ubebe noti ndogo.

Maswali ambayo watu huuliza
Can I bring a drone to Ethiopia?
Only with a permit from the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority, obtained before you bring it; without one it will likely be held at customs until you leave. Flying near airports, military areas, government buildings and in many parks is prohibited.
What is it illegal to photograph in Ethiopia?
Never photograph military sites, police, checkpoints, airports, bridges, palaces or government offices. If an official asks you to stop, stay calm and polite and delete the photo if asked, as arguing can lead to equipment being confiscated.
Is it OK to take photos of people in Ethiopia?
Yes, but always ask first and respect a "no". Ask with a smile and a gesture, or say "Photo yichalal?" (Can I take a photo?). Avoid photographing children without a parent's permission, and don't photograph people praying or mourning without permission.
Do you have to pay to take photos in the Omo Valley?
Often, yes. In some areas, especially the Omo Valley, people ask for a fee per photo, so agree the amount first through your guide and pay the person photographed.
Are there camera fees at churches and museums in Ethiopia?
Yes, expect camera or video fees at many churches, museums and parks. Some sites also ban flash, and some inner sanctuaries don't allow photos at all.
Do I need a permit to film in Ethiopia?
Yes, for professional work. Commercial filming, documentaries and journalism need accreditation from the Ethiopian Media Authority, and some locations need extra permits. Start the process weeks in advance, usually through a local fixer or production company.
