ADDIS ABABA- The U.S. and some Western powers have deployed the terrorist TPLF as an instrument of protecting national interest in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa and blessed the faction’s destructive activities, Somali State Chief Administrator Mustefe Mohammed said.
Talking to a media, Mustefe stated that the TPLF was not only a repressive organization in Ethiopia, but also a despotic group in the Horn. “TPLF officials have entered into chauvinistic behavior… they undermined the voice of all peoples for long.”
The chief further highlighted that TPLF leaders boasted of themselves that nobody can be equivalent to them in all spheres… and assumed that they are super-politicians of the country. “So, how can they benefit even the people of Tigray while they believe in chauvinistic ideology?” As to him, TPLF pursued a foreign policy in favor of the West for a long time at the expense of the rights and benefits of the citizenry.”
“Leaders of the criminal faction have done every political engagement based on the command emanated from their paymasters. The Western media have paid the rebellious group back by disseminating false rhetoric to hide atrocities the latter committed in the civilian population of Amhara and Afar states.”
Recalling the actual situation prevailed in the country during the TPLF’s rule, Mustefe said that the faction turned the whole country to prison and indiscriminately arrested political prisoners for expressing objections.
Still there are some foreign-backed anti-peace elements that have been engaged to disrupt the peace of the country and engaged in spewing fake news to obtain the support from some international interest groups. The groups have no public base among the Somali community and the public is struggling with them, the president remarked.
