Government Reiterated Commitment to Work with Eligible Aid Organizations

Addis Ababa, November 17, 2021(Walta) – The Ethiopian government has reiterated commitment of the government to work hand in hand with eligible aid organizations in enhancing delivery of emergency humanitarian assistance to people in need in several parts of the country.

In a press briefing held today, State Minister of Government Communications Service, Kebede Desisa underlined that some aid organizations operating in Ethiopia are focused on their hidden political agenda rather than humanitarian assistance works they are entrusted with.

Kebede rejected the accusation from some international organizations that are complaining without a proof that the government caused blockade to northern parts of the country.

These organizations are not willing to denounce atrocities being committed by the terrorist TPLF against innocent people in Amhara and Afar Regions; rather they are echoing false allegations from perpetrators, he added.

Some international media are engaged in false propaganda and disinformation aimed at tarnishing image of the government of Ethiopia and backing foreign pressures against the country.

The government is thankful for Ethiopians and people of Ethiopia for demonstrating to denounce meddling of foreign countries in Ethiopia’s internal affairs worldwide, it was noted.
