The recent report the Cable News Network (CNN) aired about Tigray State of Ethiopia is one-sided and lacks accuracy and comprehensiveness by shunning restoration of electric, telecom and internet services and other positive developments, a renowned writer Jeff Pearce said.
In his latest social media post Pearce stated that CNN’s Nima Elbagir’s report had low appetite to positive outcomes in Tigray and failed to mention TPLF clique is responsible to treasonous attack against federal troops, Maikadra massacre and looting of aid packages. “Elbagir and her crew travelled outside Mekelle to see if the Ethiopian government has kept its promises to the world.”
Accordingly, CNN overlooked evidences that the federal government restored three times the power grid that was damaged by the terrorist TPLF Junta. As to him, CNN also failed to mention that the alleged rape victims in Tigray are under the protection of federal troops and have not got any support from international agencies.
The writer further said that the Western media should shun its obsession for conflict and crises and the desire to cast the country as a place of disorder and dismemberment and called on the outlets to exercise objective and ethical journalism. In this horrible scenario where a nation’s fate is at risk, a terrorist oligarchy TPLF is using the United States and EU as its proxies and the West’s corporate media are manufacturing outrage in Ethiopia.
“The Ethiopian National Defense Forces have crushed TPLF’s ‘battle-hardened troops’ in a three-week operation; however, the digital warriors or, as I like to call them now, the Zombie Army (rising from Debretsion Gebremichael pathetically flat-line remnants) insist that the conflict is not over.”
Pearce insisted that if the U.S. grants itself the right to hunt down terrorists wherever they are, an African nation is surely entitled to do the same. “Not through the sinister extrajudicial methods the U.S. has used in the past and likely still uses covertly today, but by enlisting the help of its allies.” He called on friends of Ethiopia in Europe and elsewhere to help the government to uncover TPLF gropes’ hidden bank accounts and to shut down their media networks spreading hate messages against minorities thereby curtailing criminal operations.
