Africa-Press<\/a> – Ethiopia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Addis Ababa June 24\/2021 (ENA) The false claim by the terrorist group TPLF that it has controlled different places is far from the truth, according to the National Defense Force (ENDF).<\/p>\n

Briefing the media today, ENDF Public Relations Director Colonel Getnet Adane recalled that there were security concerns inside and outside the country that aimed at disrupting the 6th General Election.<\/p>\n

Thus, members of the defense force engaged in the law enforcement operation in Tigray region were redeployed to various parts of the country, he explained.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, they had been deployed to central, eastern, western and southern parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the army moved to other areas so that farmers in Tigray can farm their lands undisturbed.<\/p>\n

The remaining force in Tigray has been engaged in protecting infrastructure and undertaking other responsibilities, Colonel Getnet elaborated.<\/p>\n

Seizing this opportunity, the terrorist group has been celebrating along with the group\u2019s militias who were in hiding by pretending they have gained victory, he explained.<\/p>\n

In addition, the terrorist group has been spreading propaganda claiming that it controlled the areas which the defense force vacated for deployment to other areas, the director added.<\/p>\n

The aim of the misinformation campaign is to divert the peaceful conclusion of the election, according to Colonel Getnet.<\/p>\n

The terrorist group has been deploying drugged child soldiers using hashish and forced to fight in battles, he exposed.<\/p>\n

The defense force is, however, doing its best to avoid harming children, the director added.<\/p>\n

Colonel Getnet explained that the desperate terrorist group has been spreading false campaign because it wants the international community to help it negotiate with the government.<\/p>\n

The terrorist group has from the outset been threatening to make the war between citizens and regional by firing rockets at the neighboring country Eritrea, he recalled.<\/p>\n

The director revealed that the defense force have taken measures on those who gathered to celebrate the so-called Martyr\u2019s Day on June 22, 2021.<\/p>\n

The group which suffered losses is now sowing confusion among the people by claiming that civilians have been targeted, he stated.<\/p>\n

Colonel Getnet underscored that the report that the terrorist group had captured troops and took control of the cities was also false.<\/p>\n

The director called on the Ethiopian people to reject the misleading information propagated by the terrorist group and support the government\u2019s efforts to rehabilitate the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
