Mershrefet is the biggest liar Ethiopia had ever seen in its history. So far he has said countless many other terrorist threats that were allegedly prevented but none of the alleged terrorists he bragged for catching red handed were shown to the public, brought to prison, much less to court.
His intention is to scare Gonderes, he does not want them to get together for Timket, coz he fears they will try to overthrow him on that day.
He did the mesqel square explosion by himself but he accused what he called "Ye qen Jib" and then squarely landed the accusation on OLF after he noted the OLF does not want to be the foot soldier of his neo-neftegnism
