Ethiopian rejects a statement by EEAS Spokesperson as ‘selective vilification’

Addis Ababa, September 15, 2022 (FBC) – The Ethiopian Embassy in Belgium is dismayed by the statement issued on the 14th of September 2022, by the spokesperson of the European Union External Action Services (EEAS).

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the Spokesperson continuously chooses  to ignore the blatant violations committed by the TPLF on various occasions, including that  of opening the third round of conflict and abusing humanitarian aid and fuel to advance military escalations. 

“The statement is also misleading by pronouncing that TPLF took an initiative for peace.  It’s a well-known fact that the Government of Ethiopia has been taking various tangible measures including a unilateral humanitarian truce since march 2022, and naming a negotiation team under the auspices of the Africa Union, believing that it would create trust and ultimately paving the way for the commencement of negotiation.”

“While rejecting the selective vilification by the Spokesperson of the EEAS, we would like to reiterate the unwavering commitment of the Government of Ethiopia to Peacefully Resolve the Conflict in Northern Ethiopia.”
