War in Ethiopia Fueled by Western Propaganda

• The Grayzone
  Pushback with Aaron Maté One year ago this month, a conflict broke out in Ethiopia when the TPLF — the country’s former ruling party — attacked government forces in what it claimed was a preemptive strike. Thousands have been killed and millions have been displaced. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has accused the US of backing the TPLF to overthrow his government. Hermela Aregawi, an Ethiopian-American journalist of Tigrayan descent, argues that Western media has distorted the Ethiopian war in support of sanctions and regime change, at the cost of many lives.
