@Crisu
You make good reasoning why we shouldnt believe everything we read in the papers , i mean its a well known phrase isnt it
However i dont believe this is all just "fake news" , no smoke without fire as they say , another well known phrase. One that well researched rob sold on.
You do also seem to put a lot of trust in the ethiopian governments statement recently
I dont doubt for a second a war may not happen, said only last week Im not convinced one will happen, but fun fact governments lies , especially known corrupt ones like Ethiopia.
Always remember Russia claiming to simply be doing military exercises on the Ukraine borders , before a full scale invasion , was also claiming Ukraine was about to attack Russia again lies.
Before you say it i will , different countries , different continent , different circumstances etc etc
So closer to home, The Ethiopian government, particularly during the conflict in the Tigray region starting in 2020, has been accused of disseminating misinformation, manipulating media, and restricting information access to control narratives. Key instances include denying the presence of Eritrean troops (later admitted), claiming tactical withdrawals instead of military defeats, and denying reports of famine.
Tigray Conflict Misinformation: The government was accused of using manipulated images to support its military operations.
Military Claims: The government denied the presence of Eritrean troops in Tigray for months before admitting they were involved in atrocities. Similarly, the withdrawal from Mekelle in 2021 was called a "tactical" move rather than a defeat.
Media and Internet Restrictions: The government has been accused of cutting internet access to the Tigray region and targeting independent journalists to restrict reporting on human rights violations.
Denial of Atrocities and Famine: The government has frequently dismissed reports of atrocities and famine in Tigray.
GERD Funding: Ethiopian officials denied claims that the United States funded the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), asserting it was entirely domestic and self-funded.
Human Rights Concerns: International organizations like Human Rights Watch have reported on the suppression of protests in the Oromia region, which the government has denied.
