Government urges international community to pull TPLF towards the path of peace

Addis Ababa, August 26, 2022 (FBC) – The Government of Ethiopia has urged the international community to pressure TPLF to choose the path of peace.

In a recent statement, the Government Communication Service said that the TPLF is blocking all ways leading to peace because the group is not capable to survive without war.

Ignoring all of the peace alternatives presented by the government, the terrorist group TPLF armed group continued its recent attacks on the areas that are under the control of the National Defense Forces, the statement says.

The statement says that the TPLF has continued carrying out a concerted attack on the positions where our defense forces have been holding.

“It is known that the Ethiopian government has passed a decision to resolve the problem in the northern part of the country peacefully. Based on this decision, the Government has enacted a unilateral ceasefire. Even knowing that some humanitarian assistance vehicles and aid materials were being diverted for none humanitarian purposes.”

For the sake of the people of Tigray, the Federal Government has been facilitating humanitarian assistance to enter the Tigray Region unhindered. It has proposed a negotiation plan and announced designated Government negotiators. It has declared readiness to discuss any issues at anytime, anywhere.

However, the TPLF clique that cannot live without war, is sacrificing the youth of Tigray and undertaking attacks in multiple areas. Our Defence Forces are carefully defending the Government’s peace option. The

Government of Ethiopia’s efforts for peace and the sacrifices it has made thus far are well known.

Therefore, the international community must condemn the TPLF for its continued provocation and incitement of violence. The Government of Ethiopia calls upon the international community to refrain from equalizing the Government with the TPLF in its “two sides” judgment call.

It also calls upon the international community to push the TPLF to move towards the peace option proposed by the Government. If this is not the case and the TPLF continues its attacks, the Government of

Ethiopia will be forced to take any action in order to fulfill its obligations under the law, the statement added.
