Newly formed rebel alliance to continue destabilisation of Ethiopia: Diplomat

Washington, Nov 15 (UNI/Sputnik) An alliance formed by nine Ethiopian rebel groups in Washington will further contribute to the destabilisation of Ethiopia, which has been facing an insurgency by Tigray rebels, Ambassador to the United States Fitsum Arega told Sputnik.
"What they signed is to continue the destabilisation by the TPLF. So it's just a continuation of the destabilisation, and it has no meaning at all," Arega said.
Nine Ethiopian rebel groups announced on Friday that they had formed an alliance to change the government and establish a transitional body. The alliance, dubbed the United Front of Ethiopian Federalist Forces, comes as Ethiopia was put under a six-month state of emergency after Tigray rebels claimed they are advancing toward the capital of Addis Ababa.
