Whether you try to hide behind london school of ... or Reuters, or anybody else, the sponsor remains one and the same: Cairo
Anyhow why are the Reuters' coming forward and defend their recent publication dubbed something like "Ethiopia is training RSF soldiers" or something similar?
This is not only an embarrassment for the inept "journalist" but also for the media organisation itself, if it didn't come out and apologize in public!
Shameless!
Re: sarcasm: listen!
I do believe one of the reason journalism has not been as vibrant, trustworthy as it had been is financial constraints.
Especially, journalists who cover African politics might not have enough resources to focus on stories that they have believed to be important.
Because of lack of financial resources, they solicit their information from second hand sources. In most cases, they do not even try to collaborate that information.
I don’t believe they intentionally distort facts. However, the shortcuts they use are inexcusable.
Well, Reuters failure pales in comparison with the New York Times.
The New York Times African correspondent lionized the eleven and twelve years Tigreans as a fearless warriors a few years ago.
It did not occur to him it was a crime to recruit young people for war. Or he knew it was a crime but not promoting them as fearless warriors shortchange the narrative he was fed to promote. I vote for the latter.

How can they prove their story if you've kicked them out of the country? If you want them to prove their story, give them a helicopter or a track and let them take you to the site.DefendTheTruth wrote: ↑12 Feb 2026, 17:51

But the fact is, as Moges said, "Ethiopia is sleepwalking into regional chaos by being UAE's cheap Bi*ch. What a shame!"

Re: sarcasm: listen!
Suddenly they don't have access to the site! What a joke? How did they manage to report the story without having even an access to the site? Before gathering the data?
Is that not a pure fabrication, to publish something without having the data in the hand?
In that case kicking them out is the minimum somebody could do to these inept wannabe journalists, rather tools!
