Ethiopians in Qatar Condemn Media Outlets for Propagating Misinformation about Current Situation

March 20/2021(ENA) The Ethiopian community in Qatar condemned media outlets and personalities that unduly propagate misinformation that doesn’t in any way serve justice.

The Ethiopians made the remark in their open letter sent to the international community that focused about the current situation in Tigray region, the ongoing GERD negotiations and the Ethio-sudan border dispute.

In their letter, Ethiopians in Qatar condemned media outlets and personalities that unduly propagate misinformation that doesn’t in any way serve justice.

They have also called on the international community to swiftly respond to government's open call to scale up the humanitarian support in Tigray.  

The Ethiopians also implore the international community to collaborate with the government in conducting a speedy investigation to the alleged crimes without a need to dictate the sovereign nation’s internal affairs.

Regarding the GERD, Ethiopian Community in Qatar stated an equitable and reasonable use of transnational water resources are now the governing principles of international law. “Ethiopia has, therefore, the right to utilize its water resources to fulfill the basic demands of its people,” they underlined.  

And they urged the government of Qatar, the Arab League and the international community to duly understand Ethiopia’s right to use its water without causing significant harm to downstream states.

On the border dispute with Sudan, the community urged the military wing of the Sudanese government to "stop its aggression and pull back to the situation before 06 November last year not to further sever the long-standing relation between the two brotherly peoples."

They also called upon the brotherly people of Sudan, the State of Qatar and the international community at large to take note of and condemn this unwarranted belligerence.
