Claim: An X account claimed that “members of the 51st Regiment were destroyed in today’s battle and that the pictured individuals were captured during an operation in Gondar.”

Verdict: False. The image is outdated and unrelated to the current conflict in Amhara.

An X account named “የአማራ ፋኖ ጠቅላይ እዝ Official Page!” with over 21,000 followers shared an image with an Amharic caption in which a soldier appears to narrate that they could not anymore fight against the Fano militiamen and members of the 51st Regiment were destroyed in a battle. The tweet gave an impression also that the pictured individual(s) was (were) captured during an operation in Gondar, a city located to the north of the Amhara Regional State. The post received over 87 retweets and 8,000 views(see image below).

However, the image is outdated and unrelated to the ongoing conflict in Amhara Region – the conflict that erupted in April 2023 between the Ethiopian government and Fano militants. MFC observed that the aforementioned Twitter account repeatedly spreads disinformation.

Three weeks ago, on May 2, the same image was shared by a Facebook account named Mereja Tv, which has over 1.2 million followers. The post claimed that the image was related to the current conflict in Amhara, which is untrue (see image below).

However, this image too is outdated and unrelated to the current conflict in Amhara.

A Google Reverse Image Search reveals the image was first shared on social media on October 30, 2021, by a social media account named Stalin Gebreselassie. This individual is known for expressing support for the TPLF/TDF – a political party and an armed group – during the war in Tigray region of Ethiopia. Currently, he is based in Washington DC, USA, and works at Zara Media Network, a media that he reportedly founded. 

Based on the result of the tool we used, MFC confirmed that the image shared by the X account claiming that “members of the 51st Regiment were destroyed in today’s battle and that the pictured individual(s) was (were) captured during an operation in Gondar” is false. 

Context

The conflict in Amhara Regional State began in April 2023 when the Ethiopian military raided the Amhara region to disarm regional special forces and Fano militias – who disregarded the government’s announcement of disarming and integrating them into its formal security forces. This sparked resistance with the Fano Militiamen, finally leading to clashes with the federal government’s military forces. The situation remains tense, which has been resulting in death of civilians, causing significant damage to properties, and displacing hundreds of thousands people. Thus, the post has been circulating in this context.

Claim: A social media influencer with the name Gumaa Saqqataa Gem claimed that General Kassaye Chemeda, former member of the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), has been included into the National Dialogue Commission (NDC). The post claimed that the inclusion of General Kassaye shows a “disrespect to the people”.  

Verdict: Misleading 

A Facebook account by the name Gumaa Saqqataa Gem, which has over 109,281 followers, posted a content claiming that General Kassaye Chemeda, a former ENDF member whose face is circled in the picture with yellow colour, was among the Commissioners of the Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission (NDC). The content was published along with a picture of the NDC Commissioners and other high officials and the claim received over 1200 likes, over 224 comments, and over 104 shares. Similar claims were also posted on Tigray Tribune and Tigray Today/ትግራይ ቱደይ, pages that have hundreds of thousands of followers. 

The claim from Gumaa Saqqataa Gem reads: Nothing is disrespectful than including Kassaye Chemeda into the National Dialogue Commission, who supported ENDF over the War in Tigray asserting “crack them down, smash them down”.

However, after assessing the information provided on the Website of NDC and speaking to one of the Commissioners on a phone call, the MFC found that Chemeda is not among the Commissioners.

Thus, looking into the list of the Commissioners and confirming via phone call, MFC established that the claimed person is neither among the Commissioners of the National Dialogue Commission nor part of its staff members.

The supposed photo of the claim was found to be taken during the launching of the agenda setting event of the NDC in Addis Ababa and Chemeda was among the participants representing parts of the community of the city dwellers.

Therefore, MFC renders that both the text and the picture of the claim were taken out of context and found to be misleading.

Context 

The Ethiopian National Dialogue (END) was established in December 2021 with an autonomous stance as part of Ethiopia’s peace initiatives. It has aimed at bringing major controversial national issues to the dialogue table, which have been at the core of dispute and conflict in the country. Right from its establishment, the NDC has been criticized for its lack of transparency, including the process of selecting the Commissioners. Thus, over 11 opposition parties, including the two major Oromo oppositions – the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and the Oromo Federalist Congress (OFC) – have boycotted participating in the dialogue. 

Regardless of the lack of public trust and amidst the conflict in the Amhara and Oromia regional states, where armed insurgencies have been tense, the NDC continued its work. Although it lagged behind its schedule on the selection of representatives from parts of the community, it has now officially reached the phase of agenda setting. It was on the launching of this agenda setting event that General Kassaye Chemeda was seen. Chemeda is known for his strong critique against the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and he was active supporter of Abiy’s war campaign against TPLF in Tigray.

Claim: A Facebook account shared a video of a damaged papaya farm in Tigray regional state of Ethiopia, claiming that the destruction was caused by “Shabiya” – a reference often used for a ruling party in Eritrea. 

Verdict: False. The video is not from Tigray.

On June 1, 2024, a Facebook account named “Habesha Habesha” shared a video that shows a damaged papaya farm with the caption: “This is what ‘Shabiya’ [the ruling party in Eritrea] did in Tigray.” The video garnered more than 970 reactions, over 1,000 shares, and over 330,000 views until this article is published. 

However, the video is not from Tigray.

MFC examined the video using Fake News Debunker by InVID & We Verify to detect the authenticity of the claim InVID provided keyframes from the video, which MFC then checked through Google Reverse Image Search.

Image: Screenshot taken from InVID Keyframs

The results showed that the video is circulating on social media with a Hindi caption claiming that “The storm destroyed 99% of the papaya crop” in India. 

Therefore, the video is actually from Tamil Nadu, a State in South India.

TIMES NOW, an English media outlet in India, and News18 India have reported that on May 29, 2024, thousands of papaya trees were damaged due to strong winds in Tamil Nadu, a state in the extreme south of India. The report further stated that the Tamil Nadu experienced heavy rainfall in recent days.

Image: Screenshot taken from TIMES NOW Facebook page

Based on this information, MFC confirms that the video shared by the Facebook account claiming that the video shows the destruction of papaya farm caused by “Shabiya” in Tigray is false.

Context

In November 2020, fighting broke out between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a regional political party in Tigray, a region located north of Ethiopia bordering with Eritrea. Reports shows that the Eritrean forces entered the conflict supporting the Ethiopian government.

Eritrean forces (aka Shabiya) were accused of committing atrocities against civilians in Tigray, including extrajudicial killings, rape, and torture. The involvement of Eritrean forces in the conflict reportingly further complicated the situation and made it more difficult to resolve.

A ceasefire was declared in March 2022, but the conflict has not been fully resolved. Eritrean forces remain in Tigray, and there are ongoing reports of human rights abuses.

Thus, the post claiming that the Eritrean forces destroyed the papaya farm in Tigray circulates in this context.

Claim: Social media influencers and a high-ranking Ethiopian official shared a press release that purportedly came from the Turkish government stating that the recent military pact between Turkey and Somalia was unrelated to the ongoing dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia. 

Verdict: MFC rated the claim as False

_____________________________________________________________

On February 21 and 22, 2024, a fabricated viral press statement purportedly issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey on the altercation between Somalia and Ethiopia was circulated widely on social media platforms, including on Twitter. 

The statement claimed that the defense agreement signed on February 8, 2024, between Somalia and Turkey was unrelated to the ongoing dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia. The latter two countries have been in a deadlock after Ethiopia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Somaliland on January 1, 2024, to access its seaport for ‘trade and military purpose’. Although Somaliland is not yet recognized internationally  as a country, Somalia considers it as part of its territory. 

The press statement, bearing the name and logo of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was claimed to have originated from the Ministry (see below screenshot).

The statement asserted that the defense agreement between Somalia and Turkey has aimed to combat terrorism and piracy and was unrelated to the ongoing dispute between Ethiopia and Somalia. Along this line, social media influencers and high-ranking officials shared the press statement claiming that the recent defense agreement will not affect the MoU. 

A verified X (formerly Twitter) account with the name Somalilanders, who has more than 27K followers, for instance, tweeted: “The agreement between #Turkey–#Somalia focuses on working together to combat terrorism and piracy while offering military and financial support to Somalia and is not related to Somalia’s recent disagreement with the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.”

Another verified X account with more than 11K followers that operates as a media platform — Somaliland National TV — tweeted that “Ethiopia is a valuable economic,  trade and military partner of the Republic of Turkiye in Africa”. This particular tweet was viewed by 65,000 people (see below screenshot). 

Prosperity for All, which appears to be affiliated to Ethiopia’s Prosperity government, also tweeted that his country’s and Turkey’s relationship remains intact despite the MoU with Somaliland. 

Another X account holder who fell into the trap of this fabrication was the Ethiopian Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Suleiman Dedefo. The Ambassador, who has more than 146K followers, stated that “Ethiopia does not object any cooperation agreements between nations as long as the agreement does not affect its national interest in one way or the other” (see below screenshot).

However, by referring to the genuine press releases from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs that are often shared through their verified social media channels, the MFC established that the press statement was inauthentic. Because, the authentic press releases have similar formatting that are accompanied by specific serial numbers for references. In this case, for instance, the counterfeit statement bore the serial number 34, which contradicted the official press release bearing the same number on the ministry’s X handle (see below screenshot).

Furthermore, the Turkish embassy in Addis Ababa confirmed to the MFC that the purported statement was not issued by the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Turkey. Therefore, the claim made in the circulated press statement is false.

The January 1 agreement between Ethiopia and the self-declared republic of Somaliland facilitates the latter to lease a strip of coastal land on the Gulf of Aden to Ethiopia for trade and military purposes, while Ethiopia could recognize Somaliland as a sovereign country once the agreement is finalized.

This MoU, which angered Somalia, has led to a deterioration of the relationship between Somalia and Ethiopia. Thus, Somalia accused Ethiopia of violating its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Amidst these tensions, Somalia and Turkey forged a defense agreement. On February 21, 2024, the Somali government officially announced the defense agreement between the two countries. Under this agreement, Turkey will provide maritime security support to Somalia to assist in defending its territorial waters.

ቀድሞ ትዊተር በተሰኘውና X በተባለው የማህበራዊ ሚዲያ መድረክ ከ18,500 በላይ ተከታዮች ያሉት “የአማራ ፋኖ ጠቅላይ እዝ Official Page!” የተባለዉ አካውንት “ሰበር ዜና! በጎጃም ዕዝ አስደናቂ ጀብዶችን ፈፅመናል! ለ3ቀን በሰነበተው የጎጃም ውጊያ በቲሊሊ፣ በቋሪት፣ ደጋ ዳሞት የአገዛዙን ጦር በመበተን እጅግ ከፍተኛ ቁጥር ያለው ተተኳሾችን በመማረክ 1 ዙ23 አቃጥለን በርካታ የቡድን መሳሪያዎችን ማርከናል” የሚልን ልጥፍ (post) ከሁለት ምስሎች ጋር ፤ በየካቲት 13, 2016 ዓ.ም. ለጥፏል። ይህ ፅሁፍ እስከወጣበትም ቀን ድረስ ትዊቱ ከ15,500 በላይ ተመልካች ሲያገኝ ከ100 ጊዜ በላይም ተጋርቷል (ምስሎቹን ታች ከሚታየዉ ስክርንሾት ይመልከቱ)

ይሁን እንጂ ፤ ምስሎቹ የቆዩ እና ከዚህ ቀደም አገልገሎት ላይ የዋሉ ከመሆናቸውም በተጨማሪ በወቅቱ ያለውን የአማራ ክልል ግጭት አያሳዩም። በመሆኑም ልጥፉ ሐሰት ነው።

MultiFactCheckም ልጥፉን የመረመረ ሲሆን ምስሎቹ ፅሁፉን የማይደግፉ ሆኖም አግኝቷቸዋል።

የመጀመሪያው ምስል 

የጎግል ምስል ማፋለጊያ (Google reverse image search) ውጤት ምስሉ በዚሁ አካውንት ከሳምንታት በፊት የካቲት 1 ፣ በሸዋ ምንጃር ውስጥ የተማረከ መሳሪያ ተደርጎ ተለጥፎ ነበር። እንደገናም በቅርቡ የካቲት 18ም “በሸዋ መንዝና ጅሩ” የተማረከ መሣሪያ በሚል ልጥፍ ጋር አብሮ ተጋርቷል።

ሁለተኛው ምስል

የጎግል ምስል ማፋለጊያ (Google reverse image search) ውጤት እንደሚያመለክተው ሁለተኛው ምስል ለመጀመሪያ ጊዜ በማህበራዊ ሚዲያ ላይ የተጋራው በፌስቡክ ላይ ጥቅምት 18, 2014 ዓ.ም. ሲሆን ይህም ይህ የአማራ ክልል ግጭት ከመከሰቱ ከአመት በፊት ነው። ምስሉም በተመሳሳይ ቀን በተለያዩ ገፆችም ተጋርቷል። (በዚህ ማስፈንጠሪያ እና በዚህ ማስፈንጠሪያ ተጠቅመው መመልከት ይችላሉ።)

በመሆኑም MultiFactCheck ልጥፉን መርምሮ ምስሎቹ ፤ የፋኖ ኃይሎች መሳሪያዎችን ከመከላከያ ሰራዊት ጎጃም ውስጥ በተጠቀሰው ቀን ስለመማረካቸው እንደማያሳዩ እና ሐሰት መሆናቸውን አረጋግጧል።

በአማራ ክልል ያለው ግጭት በመንግስትና ራሳቸውን “ፋኖ” ብለው በሚጠሩ የክልሉ አማፂ ኃይሎች መካከል በሚያዝያ 2015 የተጀመረ ነው።

የግጭቱም ዋነኛ መንስኤ ተደርጎ የሚወሰደው የፌዴራሉ መንግስት የክልል ልዩ ኃይሎችን ትጥቅ አስፈታለሁ በማለቱና በክልሉ ያሉ ኃይሎች ውሳኔውን ባለመቀበላቸው ነው። ይህም በጦር መሳሪያ የተደገፈ ግጭት/ጦርነት በክልሉ በተለያዩ አካባቢዎች አሁን ድረስ የቀጠለ ሲሆን ፤ ከላይ የጠቀስነውም ትዊት በዚህ አውድ ውስጥ የተዘዋወረ ነው።
