General Mohammed Tessema reaffirms the position that it’s the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Defense Force that is enforcing rule of law in Tigray region, not Eritrean troops. He criticized the media for not covering adequately human rights violations perpetrated by TPLF forces. The Ethiopian Defense Force dismisses the allegation. He was asked what the Ethiopian defense force (and the Ethiopian government) says about the claim that Eritrean troops entered the Ethiopian territory and engaged in extensive human rights violations. Despite the gruesome nature of the unsuspecting attack against the Ethiopian Defense Force, members of the Ethiopian Defense Force took no vengeful measures whatsoever – he said.
