Nebyiu said the US is favoring a terrorist group TPLF as failed to condemn the root cause of humanitarian violation in the country.

“TPLF has made atrocities and recruited child soldiers. There is TPLF out tyrant regime, to unravel with totalitarianism with well documented atrocities and with child soldiers painted noble rebels, immune from condemnation.”
