According to a communique issued by government spokesman Kebede Desisa, the US Embassy here issued a statement assuring that there will be possible terrorist attacks in Addis Ababa, “which is false and contrary to the international diplomatic principles.”

It is intended to terrorize the Ethiopians and mislead the international community with information that is far from the truth, and this demonstrates the fact that the United States is providing support to the TPLF, Desisa said.

They want, he added, to tarnish the country’s image, dissuade foreign investors from placing their capitals in our territory and this may damage “the long-standing historical bilateral relations.”

The spokesman also urged the United States and the European nations to “refrain from supporting the acts of the group and its allies,” denounce their criminality and recognize the government efforts to take humanitarian aid to regional states affected by the conflict.
