Seyoum Teshome, a prosperity party hired YouTuber, has been lying for quite some time. He often believes he has the monopoly of information, and he could lie about anything, and no one disproves him. Recently he has been tasked by the Prosperity Party to mend the prosperity party’s rough relationship with the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF) by making Eritrea a sacrifice lamb. Although Brigadier General Tesfaye Ayalew from the Ethiopian Army confirmed that the Ethiopian Army killed the three TPLF leaders because they refused to surrender, recently Seyoum Teshome lied by saying Eritrean Army Killed former TPLF leaders Seyoum Mesfin, Abay Tsehaye and Asmelash Woldeslassie. He also credited the Ethiopian army for saving the life of another TPLF official Sebhat Nega and others. The objective of this article is not to delve into the discussion of whether the former TPLF officials deserved to be killed. It is just to set the facts straight and expose prosperity party cadre, Seyoum Teshome’s lies.
The truth is, as Brigadier General Tesfaye Ayalew put it unambiguously, TPLF former officials were killed by the Ethiopian Army. In the video above, on track 8:35 to 9:15, the injured former TPLF special force member who was hiding in the same area where the former TPLF officials were killed explains how it happened. In his words, the TPLF officials were hiding in a villager’s home close to the Tekeze River. When the Ethiopian Army approached the area the villager who was hosting the TPLF officials in his home asked them to leave. They left the home where they were hiding and traveled along the embankment of the Tekeze River between Cher and Shintana. Many Ethiopian Army soldiers who had information about the whereabouts of the TPLF officials went to the home where the TPLF officials were hiding. They threatened the villager with his life and asked him to show them where the TPLF officials were. The scared villager showed the Ethiopian Army the place where the TPLF officials were hiding, and a short gunfight ensued. Accordingly, the TPLF officials and their bodyguards were killed in the spot. The Eritrean army came to the area weeks after the killing of the TPLF officials.
Whether it is good or bad, history should be written and told as is. Falsifying history for political purposes often has more damage than benefits.
