Press Release
Another Disinformation Campaign by the TPLF

The TPLF regime and its ilk are spreading a smear campaign against Eritrea falsely accusing it "for buying arms from Egypt with Libyan funding."

Eritrea has never bought weapons or ammunition of any kind from Egypt that was financed by Libya or indeed from its own coffers. Eritrea also has not acquired weapons from elsewhere financed by Libya.

The TPLF's accusations are not only baseless but are obviously intended to give a regional dimension to the conflict.
