According to the Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration Kassahun Gofe, poverty-stricken war-torn Ethiopia has secured over 1 billion USD from gold exports in the last five months, but this is a lie, It's a state disinformation and baseless propaganda.
War-torn landlocked Ethiopia doesn't have any gold to export, As we can tell from the fact that no foreign countries are lining up to pay for gold, War-torn landlocked Ethiopia (excluding Somali State) doesn't have any valuable natural resources, such as iron ore which is the main ingredient in steel production, oil and natural gas, yttrium, bauxite, beryllium, copper, cobalt, lithium, uranium, gold etc and many other economically important natural resources, That's why Ethiopia’s exports are mainly agricultural commodities such as coffee, cut flowers, khat, fruits and vegetables, which account for over 98 percent of total export value.
