Let me get this straight professor. You now acknowledge inadvertently spreading misinformation/disinformation in the lead up to this election, you continue to accuse the #Ethiopian Govt. of engaging in it.

As a professor of peace/conflict studies you would be aware that this is Ethiopia’s first shot at a real free and fair democratic election, and you would be aware of the already heightened domestic very lethal tensions, and not just in Tigray. And yet you continue to stoke these.
The Ethiopian Govt is clear they have asked Eritrean troops to leave but they have not yet left, even though undertakings to do so were provided to the U.S.
It is also clear that Tigrayan forces initiated this war and continue - with assistance unknown - to pursue it.

The election is in 14 days time.
Disinformation and misinformation is a problem in both this election and in this war. As a professor of peace/conflict studies is it not your responsibility not to add fuel to an already very dangerous fire.
