Ethiopia calls on int’l community to condemn TPLF’s preparation for a renewed war

Addis Ababa, May 18, 2022 (FBC) – Spokesperson of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Dina Mufti called on the international community to denounce TPLF’s preparation for a renewed war on the nation.

Ambassador Dina also indicated that a wide range of activities are underway to help the international community clearly understand what the Government of Ethiopia is doing to ensure peace in the country.

He cited the establishment of the National Dialogue Commission, the declaration of the humanitarian truce, facilitation of unfettered humanitarian access to Tigray, among others, as major efforts Ethiopia is exerting to ensure peace.

Various discussions have been held with AU Special Envoy for Horn of Africa, Olusegun Obasanjo and U.S. Especial Envoys on ways of bringing peaceful solution to the situation in the northern part of the country.

Although the government has continued endeavors to address the situation with peaceful mechanisms, the TPLF has not yet reciprocated; rather the Group is preparing to wage another devastating war on the nation, the Spokesperson noted.

He called the international community to critically observe what TPLF is currently doing including forced recruitment of fighters to wage on Ethiopia and its people, and condemn such dreadful intention by the outlaw group.
