A new twist on media dissembling over how the War started. Now @AbiyAhmedAli “said” the Govt’s response was in response to attacks on the federal army. This is a pure simple fact, not something that needs sourcing to a statement, raising the question of its veracity.

In addition to the odd description of a call to arms in defence against an announced clear and present danger from a belligerent aggressor, this @YahooNews story is deficient because of what it fails to mention.
.@AFPAfrica led the charge in condemning human rights atrocities in Tigray, attributing them mostly to Ethiopian, Amhara and Eritrean forces. Their reporting especially that of Cara Anna was instrumental in creating the good vs bad narrative that has beleaguered this conflict.
This article implies the conflict in Afar is due to efforts to push the TPLF back into Tigray. In fact it is due to a TPLF offensive seemingly seeking to establish supply routes. An offensive in which child soldiers were sent into battle and appear to have died in large numbers.
Last night credible video evidence emerged of a TPLF attack on a @WFP aid convoy. TPLF is desperate to rearm itself and this is the sharp end of the current war. Now maybe @AFPAfrica are doing this remotely and are just ignorant of the facts…..
…. or maybe they are struggling to get their heads around the idea that their Pulitzer Prize winning journalism may have been shallow and sloppy and contributed to a propaganda war being run by maniacs.
