Press Release
Disinformation that stems From and feeds innuendos
On its online edition of 10 May this week, the private Ethiopian newspaper – BORKENA – published an article under the sensational title “Is tension building up between Ethiopia, Eritrea». The article is replete with presumptuous assertions, innuendos and outright falsehoods.
1-BORKENA misquotes and distorts President Isaias’s recent Interview on the tragic war in the Sudan to falsely claim: “President Isaias of Eritrea criticized that the one who is disturbing the people of the Sudan is the neighboring Bazaar Government’’. These words were never uttered by President Isaias Afwerki. BORKENA could have easily checked the accuracy of this claim as the full English translation of the Interview is available in the public domain.
