Government Displays Weapons Allegedly Captured from TPLF to Diplomats

The Ethiopian government has displayed a large cache of weapons, allegedly captured from the TPLF during the conflict in Northern Ethiopia that began on September 23, 2019, to diplomats and military attaches in Kality. Coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the event highlighted that 180 truckloads of weapons were seized, with 30 truckloads displayed as a sample. Ambassador Meles Alem stated that the evidence demonstrates support for the TPLF from Egypt, Eritrea, and Sudan, and reaffirmed Ethiopia's right to defend its sovereignty. The government has demanded that Eritrea stop hosting TPLF remnants and cease interference in Ethiopia's internal affairs.
