Some Organizations Defame Ethiopia’s Image

Ambassador Redwan Hussein

Addis Ababa, July 15, 2021(Walta) – Ambassador Redwan Hussein announced that some aid organizations have launched a campaign to defame Ethiopia’s image.

State Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia, Redwan Hussein, briefed the media on current affairs regarding the situation in Tigray Regions of Ethiopia.

He explained to the journalist that  some aid organizations coming from abroad have launched a campaign to defame the Ethiopian government, rather than providing humanitarian assistance as per their request.

The government could not tolerate organizations and individuals that amplify TPLF’s propaganda and tarnish Ethiopia’s image, said Ambassador Redwan.

TPLF has been designated as a terrorist organization by Ethiopian Parliament recently after it launched an unlawful attack against Ethiopia’s National Defense Force in its bid to destabilize the country.

The Ambassador added that even though has tried its best to ease the condition required to get humanitarian response in the region, the aid agencies has been changing their request from time to time putting aside the request that has been fulfilled.

One of such request is air dropping ‘humanitarian aid’ which is categorically rejected by Ethiopian government as a threat to its air space sovereignty and security.
