Ethiopia: Al-Shabaab did not kill our soldiers, they are lyingMOGADISHU, Somalia - Hours after a statement from the Al-Shabaab militants claiming to have killed several Ethiopian National Defense Forces [ENDF] soldiers, Addis Ababa has set records straight, dismissing the claim as "untrue" and "coordinated propaganda" by the group to cover up their losses in the country. "They can try to attack the Ethiopian army, but they cannot engage in a fight with the Ethiopian defense forces for even 10 minutes. Therefore, this is nothing more than propaganda against Ethiopia and the Ethiopian defense forces," Ambassador Waare said. Ethiopian troops have bases in Wajid and Huddur. The Al-Shabaab have been randomly attacking security forces besides killing innocent civilians within the Horn of Africa nation.
