#Ethiopia: Lies, Damn Lies, Jeff Pearce (@ jeffpropulsion) & ENA.
So Jeff Pearce spoke for a "few minutes by phone" with Seife Deribe of ENA, and writes that Axum Massacre is FAKE, and many "Ethiopians" are sharing this article as evidence.

Not only is this mind numbing out right lie based on ENA's CEO, but Jeff's whole article is based on "few minutes" of phone conversation with Seife Deribe of ENA. FEW MINUTES! That is the whole Jeff's research! "Few Minutes"
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 3:
This is about hundreds of innocent lives that have been killed by #Eritrean army. There are VERIFIED videos, burial sites with satellites & eyewitness accounts. Here is a detailed investigation with Photos, Satellite images, amnesty.org/en/documents/a…

So who is Seife Deribe? Well Seife, according to Jeff, is the CEO of ENA, by the way there is no record that was found to show Seife Derbie is CEO of ENA. Seife was listed as Deputy General Manager in 2017, but that is not the story here.
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 5:
However, the story is how Jeff Pearce interviewed for "few minutes" the "CEO" of ENA which is the mouthpiece propaganda factory of the government & notorious for creating fake news/docus targeting political enemies, & found #Axummassacre was fake!
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 6:
Jeff’s entitlement to discount victims’ photos of dead bodies which is geo-coded & satellite verified, including with burial sites is really the epitome of “White Privilege!” which ironically he tries to imply when he discounts hard core evidence.
Jeff’s “White Privilege” allows him to discount and ignore VERIFIABLE evidence & allows him to assert his authority of “TRUTH”, in this case denying #AxumMassacre based on ONE & ONE witness, who is job is to create propaganda for the government!
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 8:
Not only is Jeff’s assertion & denial of a VERIFIED massacre ridiculous, but it is also EVIL & intent on hurting the families of those who are surviving such inhumane ordeal, as well as allowing the perpetrators this heinous crime to escape justice.
As to Seife Deribe’s ENA, and the media outlet he manages, there are thousands of evidence to show his organization is engaged in active cover up of the government’s misdeeds. The two biggest stories still unsolved are the #AmharaStudents & Metekle
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 10:
Massacre. Maybe Jeff should have asked Seife how many Amhara’s are killed in Metekle, Wellega, etc, or how many Oromos are being killed by the government forces or Where are the “found” Amhara girls that ENA broadcasted to the nations?
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 11:
before writing a pretentious “GOTCHA ARTICLE” using a professional FAKE NEWS creator like Seife. In case Jeff doesn't know, it is good to remind him that ENA created a fake documentary claiming the govt has found kidnapped Amhara Students.
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 12:
It is also good to remind Jeff that ENA had tried to cover up one of the many mass massacres of Amharas in Metekel, and how ENA cover up/not coverage was itself a on VOA & DW, and only then ENA covered the massacre.
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 13:
Even then Seife’s ENA tried to minimize the massacre by saying it was “fighting between few peoples”, meanwhile the Abiy government rushed to bury the dead Amhara bodies using construction trucks to hide the gruesome massacre. The point is both Seife
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 14:
& ENA are not trustworthy. ENA is a media outlet & a pure propaganda tool by Abiy government. Jeff's attempt to deny #AxumMassacre based on ENA's CEO testimony is nothing, but a malicious attempt to allow the WAR CRIMINALS not face justice!
#Ethiopia#Tigray Thread 15:
Soon or later Justice, will be served to those who have been massacring innocent lives not only in Axum, but in whole Tigray. No amount of white washing will allow the WAR CRIMINALS escape!
#Ethiopia The worst enemies of Abiy Ahmed are those who are around him & who Abiy thinks are his friends. In their desire to be YESmen/YesWomen, they are giving him advice that just reinforces his callous actions. They failed to help him instead paved the road to his disgrace!
#Ethiopia#Tigray Aside from keeping yes men & women around him, Abiy's other major failure was using Derg Generals in this war. They pushed Abiy into a corner & replicated the same failed tactics that was used by the Derg in 80's, which was mass starving a region & air bombing.
#Tigray Third and gravest mistake by Abiy was bringing Issias as an ally in the internal affairs' of #Ethiopia. Issias had tried everything possible to destabilize Ethiopia, including sponsoring OLF, G7, etc. Issias deep desire was to revenge TPLF whom he had a fall out in 90's
EU Parliament says "Is deeply concerned about the de facto communications blackout in the northern Tigray region; urges the #Ethiopia n Government to restore all forms of communication to #Tigray as an act of accountability and transparency for its military operations!"
EU's Press Release continues its concern with WAR CRIME by stating "Recalls that deliberate attacks against civilians constitute war crimes! calls on forces on
both sides to respect international human rights and international humanitarian law and
to ensure the protection.."
EU Adds "on 8 November 2020 the TPLF approached the African Union to suggest talks, but the federal government ruled out any possibility of negotiations with the TPLF and
rejected international calls for dialogue and mediation " #Ethiopia Abiy is exposed as a war monger dictator!
