Asmara — Bereket Simon, Special Advisor of the TPLF regime's Premier, said today that Ethiopia is not prepared to engage in any dialogue with Eritrea regarding border demarcation. He made the statement in an interview with the Nairobi-based ISN Security Watch media outlet.
Commenting on remarks Meles Zenawi made yesterday to the country's parliament stating that "we will not launch war against Eritrea," and "we are just saying let's hold dialogue as regards border," as compared to the conflicting statement cited above stating that "Ethiopia is not prepared to engage in any dialogue," an Eritrean intellectual recalled the following utterances made by the TPLF authorities:
'TPLF means the party that at one time boasted it had secured both claimed and unclaimed territories", and later on stated that "the Boundary Commission's ruling is illegal;" "the war we would now launch will have no end," and subsequently claiming "we don't intend to launch war;" "we would withdraw from Somalia within three days" and then stay for one solid year.'
The Eritrean intellectual went on to underline that in view of the TPLF regime's resort to lies after lies, and contradictory statements which the clique unashamedly considers an asset, nobody should be surprised at all.
