If @ap @afp @bbc and @reuters choose to cover this latest, unsigned, media statement issued by @reda_getachew’s close partner in the TPLF information warfare operation addressed to the AU, it should be called what it is.
I.E. a statement issued by the rebel TPLF leadership.

The “Nutty Professor’s” statement (as he is colloquially known) is an expanded version of @reda_getachew’s recent tweets dressed up to look like it comes from an independent source. 
No doubt @reda_getachew was disappointed that his tweets were not picked up and reported on as if they are fact based, as tended to be the case in the past.
This paragraph is particularly absurd. On June 28th the GoE announced a unilateral ceasefire. And on around 15 July the TPLF launched an offensive against Afar, just as they are doing again now.
In doing so TPLF made it clear - as they are now with their latest offensive also being conducted during the Solemn Olympic Truce - their objective is not to relieve a siege or bring aid to starving people, but the exact opposite. I.E. deliberately exacerbating the crisis.
