Ethiopia will not tolerate unwarranted interference under the guise of humanitarianism

Addis Ababa, July 15, 2021 (FBC) – State Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Redwan Hussein, in a televised statement, said that the unilateral ceasefire was intended to create peaceful atmosphere for farmers in Tigray and the ongoing humanitarian in the region.

The ceasefire was announced in line with political, social and economic circumstances that posed a threat on sovereignty of the nation.

Ambassador Redwan said the unilateral armistice has given an opportunity to some humanitarian actors who were asking the government to let them alone without any security guards.

The demand of no checkpoints and inspections was better met through the secession of hostility declared by the government.

The TPLF force is recruiting and arming children of the Tigray region and involving them in war violating the international humanitarian law, he noted.

Nonetheless, he said, the terrorist TPLF has failed to respect the ceasefire and utilized the situation to instigate a fresh war against civilians and national security forces.

He said there are now some humanitarian operators which are toiling to arm the terrorist group under the guise of humanitarian operations. But, the government will not tolerate such a meddling in guise of humanitarianism”

The government will be forced to revise the decision of the unilateral ceasefire and restart law enforcement operation unless the terrorist group refrains from its belligerence, he added, calling the international community to denounce such a bellicose of the outlaw group.
