Missing Food Aid Trucks
428 UN World Food Program (UNWFP) trucks failed to return from their aid missions into the northern Tigray Region. There are credible suspicions that the terrorist-designated Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) seized these material assets in order to use them to ferry their fighters around the war zone. Instead of drawing attention to how this theft worsens the humanitarian situation in that part of the country, the UN has instead sought to sweep it under the rug and shift the blame for the feared famine there to what they claim is the Ethiopian National Defense Forces’ (ENDF) blockade of the region. This observation lends credence to Addis Ababa’s claim that UN isn’t just materially supporting the TPLF under the unconvincing pretext of negligence and misplaced priorities, but that it’s actually weaponizing this scandal to discredit the Ethiopian government.
