Ethiopia on Tigray, Ethiopia - Security Council Media Stakeout (2 July 2021)

Taye Atske Selassie Made, Permanent Representative of Ethiopia to the United Nations delivers brief remarks on the situation in Tigray, Ethiopia.
Ethiopian Ambassador Taye Atske Selassie Made reaffirmed that his government will "continue ensuring accountability for human rights abuse and crimes committed in the Tigray region. We’ll make sure that impunity is not tolerated. We remain committed to work with all bilateral and multilateral partners through genuine partnership and the understanding that the Government of Ethiopia is more than capable of overcoming these challenges. We encourage Council members to play constructive role in supporting the Ethiopian Government in the implementation of the humanitarian ceasefire.”

Look Now, Sudan even said the Renascence Dam is built in its territory. And Egypt threatened to bomb the Renascence Dam. Why do you think all this my dear? 🌷🌷🌷

[@ditamedia1327]

First of all, telling the neighbor countries to shut up is never a solution to peace, development and growth . Instead like the current Ethiopian Dr abiy ahmed ruling government you should always try peaceful discussion and negotiation for the country and the whole Africa peace and Growth. Second, to address your question , yes the preveous PM start the GERD but its obvious to everyone that he was not serious about finishing it. we all know how long it took him many years behind from the scedule, so there was no presure at the time of Meles Zenawi . unlike him, this new gov't of Ethiopia which is rulled by PM Dr Abiy Ahmed is serious about the peace and the dev't of the country so he is filling the Dam and about to finish it within a short period of time. so we all understad why Dr Abiy Gov't is facing this much presure by the pupet group of people of the enemys. why else the Dam became an issue for the country internal issue? We all can see and Africa Stand with Ethiopia !

This is the first time seeing this Ambassador, he is so good. Thank you for your service. We need people like him to come often on Western media. Many of his answers were very clear, on your face....silencing them. Most of these journalists don’t have the historical context of TPLF, how they committed atrocious crimes over the last three decades....Ambassador please keep on educating them.

You can see see it from different angles, for example for Ireland the aid industry is one of the biggest cash cow. Don't take my word for it you can google it.

You just heard him twisting the facts again and again; look what happened to Ethiopia. 1 ) Its economy is totally collapse, 2 ) there is civil unrest 3 ) its good name is totally hit bellow zero 4 ) it is exposed and occupied by foreign forces 5 ) it is leading by an educated and immoral person and a lair; how many times do you think he lies to Ethiopian people and international community? I lost count. 6 ) Ethiopian army is totally collapse and destroyed; Ethiopia right know can't defence itself. 7 ) imaging Ethiopia in this 21 century genocide against its own people. Remember we are in the age of technology and information nothing get unnoticed, not for long. If you are really believes in equality among all Ethiopia people, peace , Democratic freedom, law and order, serving the people according tho the constitution of Ethiopia; I can tell you you would despised this man. He totally lost it.
