The paramilitary group and political party in control of the northern state of Tigrayrecently ramp up onslaughts on government and allied forces in the regional states of Afar and Amhara, a development that is feared may lead to full-blown war in Ethiopia with possibility of spilling over to neighbouring countries and impact of ensuing refugee crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Abdullahi stressed that African nations need tocall on the TPLF to withdraw from Amhara and Afar regions and recognize the Ethiopian constitution andcurrent administration led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to pave way for possible return to negotiation table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the TPLF with its supporters succeed to destabilize Ethiopia, the impact will go to the whole region automatically. The impact will go to South Sudan, Somalia, Kenya and all the countries in the region. Because those, supporting Ethiopia meant safety and security for each and every nation in the region. This is their responsibility and they need to boldly condemn the activities of TPLF,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ethiopia is currently undera six-month state of emergency as of November 2\u201cto protect civilians from atrocities being committed by TPLF\u201d according to the government after the TPLF claimed they had captured strategic town in Amhara region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have to, first of all, recognize that TPLF is a terrorist\u2019s organization as designated by Ethiopian parliament and should not be considered at equal level with Ethiopian legitimate government,\u201d Ambassador Abdullahi told regional countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should at the same time pressure the TPLF to stop war and withdraw from Ahmara and Afar regions. They should accept the legitimate government of Ethiopia led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed the constitution of Ethiopia then next after, negotiation could take place,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Regional leaders including President SalvaKiirMayirdit have offered to mediate between the Ethiopian warring parties that is nearly one year-long conflict which has left thousands killed and triggered a dire humanitarian crisis.Both sides have not responded to requests for mediation however.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Abdullahi said there had been misinformation ofreporting on the conflict in Tigray by western media to create \u201cpanic and damage the image of Ethiopia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality on the ground in Ethiopia is not reflected by some western media who put out misinformation. These western media are engaged basically against the interests and the will of Ethiopian people. This misinformation is meant to destabilize and make the international community panic and todamage the image of Ethiopia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we request from African countries is that we need to stand firm and together at this critical time for the benefit of our countries and need to show and stand in solidarity with Ethiopia at this challenging time. The African nationsneed not to be confused by western media propaganda. It is purely propaganda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
