It took them ages to react about the missing trucks,\u2019\u2019 he underlined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we subsequently found out is that none of the trucks came back from Tigray and the some of the UN staffs also lied about whether or not the trucks were coming back even if we\u2019ve seen a video of large numbers of fuel trucks going in presumably being used to transport the insurgency of TPLF to the front line.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Editor in Chief also asked \u2018\u2019What is the UN expect the Ethiopian government to do when it\u2019s quite obvious that a war which is killing thousands and thousands of its own citizens is being fought using food, fuel and trucks which are being provided by aid agencies.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He also criticized the international community for not reacting for the various massacres committed by the terrorist group including the Galikoma Massacre in Afar region.<\/p>\n<p>Thompson has mentioned about the atrocities committed by the group in Amhara and Afar regions including the destruction of infrastructures, looting and vandalizing of public and private properties.<\/p>\n<p>He further called on the international community to support enormous amount of assistance to the people of these regions.<\/p>\n<p>Some elements in the UN and EU as well as the US administration have failed to understand the reality in Ethiopia and act accordingly, he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThey failed to understand the nature of what they were dealing with, and they made it worse for months even though they were being told by a lot of people how badly they were doing it and what they\u2019re doing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He finally urged the international powers to support the Ethiopian government in its efforts to arrest the leadership of the TPLF and remove the group so as to create a secure environment in Tigray and help the people recover from the atrocities being committed by the group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ethiopia\">Ethiopia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ethiopia. s Ababa December 20\/2021\/ENA\/ Some international humanitarian aid agencies have been attempting to exacerbate the conflict in Ethiopia by engaging themselves in activities against their responsibilities, Scoop Independent News Editor in Chief Alastair Thompson said.
