(CNN)Ethiopia's government has used the country's flagship commercial airline to shuttle weapons to and from neighboring Eritrea during the civil war in Ethiopia's Tigray region, a CNN investigation has found.

Cargo documents and manifests seen by CNN, as well as eyewitness accounts and photographic evidence, confirm that arms were transported between Addis Ababa's international airport and airports in the Eritrean cities of Asmara and Massawa on board multiple Ethiopian Airlines planes in November 2020 during the first few weeks of the Tigray conflict.

It's the first time this weapons trade between the former foes has been documented during the war. Experts said the flights would constitute a violation of international aviation law, which forbids the smuggling of arms for military use on civil aircraft...

Debunking cnn’s pseudo journalist @nimaelbagir, is becoming child’s play. Her latest piece claiming Ethiopian airlines transported arms, cites a clearly falsified document, whereby “The Ministry of Asmara” is the culprit. 😂 What the heck is that? 🙈

Weyane internal enemies in Ethiopian airlines are providing concocted evidence as usual to their representative in CNN,Nima Elbagir. Just a month ago working in a coordinated fashion with weyanes she was chasing "Ethiopia dumped corps" in the Tekeze river-- in Sudan. Not surprisingly those who were guiding her to the river were all weyanes. What a coincidence ?. Now weyanes inside and out coordinating faking documents and Nima and her partners are doubling down with their fakery. weyens squizzed so much lies in a year they are at the tail end of it. With the Ethiopian people standing behind Abiy, the western powers had no choice but to take a second look at weyanes to find out what are they missing. When they know Weyanes are liability -- the west knows how to dump . does Afganistan rings a bell?
