Ethiopia accuses US of disseminating false information regarding possible terrorist attacks, saying such actions 'hurt the two countries' historical relations'

US should refrain from spreading"defamation regarding Ethiopia", says government spokesperson Kebede Dessisa after Washington issued an alert about potential"terrorist attacks".

"Previously they disseminated the information that Addis Ababa is surrounded [by rebels], now they are saying this false information that a terror attack will be conducted," Kebede Desisa, a government spokesman, told a press conference for state media on Thursday.Dessisa said the US government should refrain from disseminating "shameful fake news and defamation regarding Ethiopia," state broadcaster EBC reported.

This week the US embassy further rankled Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government by posting a warning about the potential for terrorist attacks in Ethiopia. The war erupted in November 2020 when Abiy, winner of the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize, sent troops into the Tigray region to topple its ruling party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front .

The African Union's special envoy for the Horn of Africa, Olusegun Obasanjo, is leading a diplomatic push for a ceasefire, but there have been few signs of progress so far.On Wednesday, Ireland announced Ethiopia had demanded the departure of four of its Addis Ababa-based diplomats because of Ireland's criticism of the war.
