CNN has cooked up Fake Report claiming genocide is taking place in Tigray. #NOMORE
CNN intends to misinform the world once again through a supposed report claiming genocide is taking place in the Tigray region.
The Ethiopian government said that CNN has cooked up report claiming genocide is taking place in the Tigray state of Ethiopia, and portraying the aggressor as a victim.
In its statement yesterday, Government Communication Service (GCS) has disclosed that Ethiopian government has received credible information that CNN intends to misinform the world once again through a supposed report claiming genocide is taking place in the Tigray state.

The statement also restated that the said genocide was first and foremost debunked by the UN OHCHR and Ethiopian Human Rights Commission joint investigation.
If ever there was a nefarious weaponization and deliberate misrepresentation of the word genocide, then it would have to be the “Tigray Genocide”, a narrative so unscrupulously constructed, according to the statement.
It was also stated that the cries of genocide from the TPLF camps started to appear on social media from the outset of the conflict on November 4, 2020, the exact date of terrorist TPLF’s attack on Northern Command of Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF).
The statement also explained that, while the sad state of war implies civilian casualties, Ethiopia has taken steps to minimize this, even at the cost of losing territory to the terrorist TPLF.
Furthermore, it was noted, there has not been any active combat or federal government presence in the Tigray region since June 2021. “Which begs the question, where is the said genocide against the people of Tigray taking place?” GCS has also discredited false “Humera Massacre” report published by CNN, Reuters, and AP News, and said it is unfortunate that such media outlets have not learned from the harrowing consequences of their misleading reporting in different parts of the world.
According to the statement, this sort of irresponsible journalism has unfortunately become the norm when it comes to reporting current events in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa in general. At this point it has become clear mainstream media has willfully and deliberately chosen to misinform its audiences on a continuous basis.
However, manufacturing consent for unconstitutional change of government has proven difficult as more and more people continue to challenge the credibility of such stories, it was noted.
The government also called on all those engaged in such disinformation campaigns to refrain from these kinds of acts that are in one way or the other harming millions.
