I haven't seen it posted, apologies if it is a duplicate:

From BEA | Bureau d'Enquêtes & d'Analyses, via Twitter
Accident survenu le 10/03 du #Boeing737Max @BoeingAirplanes @flyethiopian / Les données contenues dans le FDR ont été téléchargées avec succès par @BEA_Aero et remises à l’équipe d’enquête éthiopienne / communication en leur nom / 7:43 AM - 17 Mar 2019
It states that the FDR data have been downloaded and transferred to the Ethopian investigation team.
The CVR data have been downloaded and transferred the day before, on March 16th.

And the Ethiopian Transport Minister, Dagmawit Moges, held a press conference on Sunday, stating
"Clear similarities were noted between Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 and Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610, which would be the subject of further study during the investigation,"
Details here:

I understand that some data revealed by the CVR (or by both the CVR and FDR) confirmed the similarities between the 2 flights.

A video of the press conference can be found here
The language appears to be Amharic.
