Ethiopia senior gov’t officials enrich themselves with sesame seeds stolen from Tigray & sold in Middle Eastern markets for more than 1 Billion Birr

Ethio 360 journalist Habtamu Ayalew starts by justifying the theft; he falsely accuses the TPLF of hoarding sesame seeds in Western Tigray with intent to deprive the central government of much-needed foreign currency. Habtamu’s problem seems to be with Amhara government officials who stole and sold the seeds rather than with the theft per se.
